Never relinquish your own responsibility to a politician. They will use it to gain and consolidate their own power, unless they are a Constitutionalist.

Because Constitutionalists are not the majority of politicians, government is never the best way to do anything, except collect taxes and break things with the military. Democrats like big unaccountable government, because their power is less likely to be limited.

So NEVER let your representatives tell you how to live your life, recycle anything, what to eat, what to drive or how your kids should be educated. They are for sale and will not act in your best interests.

Constitutionalists actually are concerned about what happens to their kids and your kids after they leave office. So they will defend your rights, and in defending the Constitution, limit their own power, because our Constitution is the only document in history that asserts that the government can't abridge our rights, because we already have them. A true Constitutionalist will not tell you you have to choose between paper and plastic. A true Constitutionalist will fight for limited accountable government.

The Republican party was founded by Abraham Lincoln in 1854 specifically to defend the US Constitution. Democrats founded the KKK around 1865 to try to intimidate former slaves from voting Republican, and hid behind white hoods to keep from being identified. Democrats are the party of slander and have often tried to claim that Republicans are KKK, which makes no sense. Only a cynical opportunist would declare themselves a Democrat. Only a fool would ever vote for a Democrat.
