If you know anything about the Human mind, you'll know it has to change and be stimulated now and then. Thinking the same things all the time means the Mind becomes stale and zombified.
Under the Democrats, there was a train of thought that everyone in the World had to be helped without any compromise on that direction of thought. No one was bad, and no one was good, everyone were just humans needing assistance, no matter who you are, or where you are.
This mostly ignored nationhood, national boundaries and borders, and citizens' taxes could be used to these ends.
The voters in the US recognized this "zombification" that was catching on, and decided to "change peoples minds" and de-zombify the United States, thus stimulating the Human mind around the world, and preventing the Mind from going stale and thinking certain limited thoughts only.
The Human mind needs all sorts of stimulation to keep it alive. Germany and Japan decided not to allow this with the result that millions died, and their cities were reduced to rubble. The Soviet Union also decided not to allow it, and it fell, but alas, it changed to something nearly as bad, oligarchy.
Millions died in communist China, then they changed to allow greater stimulation of the Mind, and now we see China as it is today, a sort of super power. But the government is not to be criticized.
Australia allows stimulation of the Mind, but that stimulation is in name only, it goes nowhere if the major parties and their followers don't like what you're saying or doing, they have their own separate stimulation, separate from everyone else.
It's important to change your mind on occasions for life to go on. Remember Jim Jones? He, and no one in his flock changed their minds, and they all died, young.
