If republicans win the midterms I’m bringing back the anti-federalists, steal the conservatives, Enter America into a new era with 3 parties. I think anti federalist pairs beautifully and balances the other 2 parties

What are some platform points the Anti-Federalist party would have?

Yo, shay rebellion I don’t know how you’re taught that but Daniel Shay Hometown Hero in Massachusetts. Dude, vet hadn’t got paid and the government wanted to tax his whiskey I think. Homeboi raised in army in western mass that had to be crushed by the government. I want more Daniel Shays. Less violent but I mean his heart is in the right place

Yea and we would start our deconstruction at the too strong some people may believe we are in now. Then find the balance in decentralization . I think we need an antifederalist to find balance in the federal government. We could start with the 2 fingers the nsa has up our asses remove the national and have 50 of them.

Decentralizing the federal government until it lives with the states. Let Utah be a theocracy. Home rule/local rule. Beef up the bill of rights. Reduce Active Duty military. A president that is nothing but a civil servant. I’d say thats my reinterpretation of 200 year old vision. I guess you need to be a majority to deconstruct things tho. You’d really have to make a name for yourself in the house to take off. The legislative and judicial are mint.

I don’t think we anwsered how to remove a king and have a leader that well. Like yes we are better than everyone else as is but America has never been satisfied just being better than everyone

You could argue that a large majority of laws that are presented to state legislatures are open to interpretation. The problem with a political system that massively decentralized is that the potential federal government will lose global geopolitical legitimacy because of how the system works now unfortunately. Also a big example (from history) of negative effects that the federal government being weak would bring is what I believe is called Shaw’s rebellion. If the federal government is (1/?)

weak, then it can’t financially maintain the entire republic thoroughly and will need bail outs from the states and those states will be in control of the fed govt’s fate and will then lead to the closing of certain social programs the citizenry lean on today. While I agree that states should have more power, the follow through would be very fragile to develop.

For this issue, there was a further divide in the earlier American political party system that disagreed on how to address the leader of the country. Funny enough there was a faction within the country that still believed we should address the president as “your majesty” simply because of habit! It’s pretty interesting stuff.

You’re correct. He hadn’t gotten paid and the govt wanted to tax his whiskey because the state governments didn’t enforce tax revenue plans because they politically outmaneuvered the federal government because they were so weak and it was impossible to enforce anything.
