Quoted context
These are the quoted author’s words.
@endless_frank @RnaudBertrand I grew up a Republican. When that name meant something. This may shock you,.. but I am a believer in the power of free markets. That said, more importantly, I believe in the CONSTITUTION…. I believe in the rule of law. I believe in the separation of powers. I believe in Federalism. I believe in the protection of individual rights. I believe in life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. I believe all men are created equal. Our founding fathers lived under monarchy & feared tyranny. They deliberately designed slow, divided government so power could not accumulate easily and be corrupted and misappropriated. I believe that liberty 🗽 dies in darkness. That a free press and activist and vocal citizenry is the key to avoid absolute power corrupting absolutely. I believe, like our founders, that our republic would survive only if citizens stayed informed, participated, and held leaders accountable. I do not belong to your tribe Nor the democrat tribe. I have a higher calling. I believe in the real America 🇺🇸, the America 🇺🇸 of our founding fathers.
