Ah yes... the Republican Party-- govt. so small it fits in your bedroom... or uterus. See, I could stand behind the majority of what you just said, but there is a long history of Republicans wanting "less government"... unless it goes against their Christian sensibilities (homosexuality, prostitution, marijuana, abortion-- just to name a few). I'm not a fan of legislating from the pulpit.
Both parties have their pet issues that they use as their bloc to earn more funds. The Republican party will never end abortion-- because they'd lose too much money for "fighting it". The Democratic party will never end 2A-- because they'd lose too much money for "fighting it". Every one of them knows which issues butter their bread. I can promise you Trump didn't give two fucks about abortion nor immigration until he decided to run on the R ticket.
I've become much more abstinent in regards to voting on the national level-- because the Republican party has shifted entirely too far right... and the Democratic party is currently shifting entirely too far left. I'm spending a lot more time being involved with local elections and things that affect my daily life far more than the actions in DC.
Yep.. I remember reading about the case of Daley. Wanna know why he wasn't convicted? Because the Special Prosecutor brought on to investigate found evidence of the dead voting in Chicago... AND evidence of Republican voter fraud in Southern Illinois. But didn't have enough evidence on either account to narrow it down to one person. The finger was originally pointed at Daley due to a false report that he had "held back" the numbers... which was easily debunked. Illinois has long been crooked-- only rivaled by Louisiana.
And-- evidence.... while I'm not a big fan of the WaPo-- I don't have the time to source it out right now-- so feel free to dig deeper with other publications.
