Remember when conservatives claimed to be against expanding executive authority? What happened?

Nathaniel Wood
Isaac Adams
They should just lie down and get proper fucked by the other two branches.
Evan James
Simple: it was a losing battle.
Option 1: Oppose executive authority and wait for your enemies to abuse it in 4 years.
Option 2: Use it to get yours while you still can
Nathan Foster
they became cumers
Xavier Stewart
The libertarians got chased out by Magafags and Stormfags. Such a rarity to see a libertarian on Jow Forums these days.
Christian Gutierrez
Fuck is a cumer.
Andrew Hughes
Declaring a national emergency isn't exactly an expansion of executive powers at this point, unfortunately.
Lincoln Ortiz
The leaf gets it. Conservatives are becoming increasingly aware of how our particularly fucked bastardization of democratic principles are being used to slowly dismantle individual rights. The ones too dependent on statism are all in on Trump because they are too stupid to realize that Trump is at best a band-aid on the gushing neck wound. They don't care about the future after their lifetimes or the world their grandchildren inherit, they are concerned about their timeshares and never having to lower their unsustainable
Lifestyles.
Owen Richardson
That's what we call a strawman.
Conservatives are generally against the expansion of government power as a whole, not specifically legislative expansion. The current legislative actions are are refutation of the expansion of government powers in other areas. It is a system of checks and balances, not necessarily against the executive branch.
Ryder Clark
>Conservatives are generally against the expansion of government power as a whole,
No they're not. Conservatives have always expanded government when they're in power.
>The current legislative actions are are refutation of the expansion of government powers in other areas.
Trump is claiming extra powers for the executive branch, not negating Congressional power, retard.
Levi Adams
this, we learned from Obama
Chase Watson
Dick Cheney?
Liam Cook
I voted for Trump because I thought he’d be authoritarian. Instead he’s just a beta cuckboy for Israel who signed the largest amnesty bill since 1986
Grayson Edwards
>What happened?
the new world order
Jonathan Fisher
Because libertarians are fools.
Eli Reyes
>Trump is claiming extra powers for the executive branch, not negating Congressional power, retard.
He is literally overriding the will of Congress.
David Morris
See: libertarian to alt-right pipeline
People are finally realizing that libertarianism is a useless ideology and if you want to get things done in this world you have to take it. If the left want's to use executive powers for their projectsm we might as well do the same.
Juan Nguyen
remember when Obama declared over a dozen national emergencies and nobody fucking cared?
remember when you weren't a memeflag faggot getting herbalized on?
Nolan Hall
>Trump is claiming extra powers
No, he's using powers granted to him by the constitution to defend the US border. On of the few legitimate actions the federal government engages in these days.
Matthew Perry
Remember when liberals were for free speech? Any and all tribes will adopt any policy that furthers their own agenda and fight any that hurt it. The sooner you realize that you are lower than a foot soldier in modern day politics the sooner you say fuck both parities and work towards dismantling Israel
Michael Torres
Their party took over the Executive Mansion.
See, executive authority is only bad if the other party has it.
That's how our two crime family political system works.
