Practical BERNHEism

Practical BERNHEism is a Economically Center-Authoritarian Left, Culturally  Center-Right (by modern standards), Diplomatically  Highly Nationalist,  Protectionist and  Anti-Imperialist, Religiously  Laicist and Technologically  Transhumanist and almost  Post-Humanist ideology, which is a far more practical version of  him built to appeal to the actual American people. If Techno-Ultranationalism is an ideology for BERNHE's ideal world (one in which everyone thinks the exact same way he does), than these are the policies that he'd implement IRL.

=Was Techno-Ultranationalism a LARP?= No. I unironically believed in Techno-Ultranationalism for many months before realizing that it can only really work if everyone were like me, as in they think and act like me. There's a reason why I haven't updated the thing in so long, I've just been thinking about whether or not an ideology I created to be 100% efficient would, ironically, fall apart instantly. I concluded that it would, of course, but I still very much believe in it (and its unholy Transitory Phase) as an "ideal BERNHEist society" kind of thing. The truth is that extreme authoritarianism cannot work in this country unless we do it by force and taking liberty from the American people, no matter how GOD DAMN ANNOYING AND INEFFICIENT IT IS, is impossible.

=Gov't Structure/Civics= I believe in the same structure we use now, but if applicable, I would like to give the house and senate less power and the judicial branch a little more. And if we're being utopian, I would also like to shift away from representative democracy completely and onto a direct (or even ATHENIAN (in the sense that the people "represent" themselves in a governing body)) democracy. ALTHOUGH IT WOULD BE PRETTY NICE IF CERTAIN ASSHOLES IN THE SENATE AND HOUSE WOULD STOP FUCKING THINGS UP, I HATE REPRESENTATIVE DEMOCRACY I HATE REPRESENTATIVE DEMOCRACY I HATE REPRESENTATIVE DEMOCRACY REEEEEEE. He's also very populist, which is basically a requirement for functioning in the American political scheme.

Le Constitution
I think it's okay, for the most part, but if I'm able to, I will make it so that extreme political violence or mass belligerence (think of the stuff Antifa or the Proud Boys pull) would not be protected by the 1st Amendment. Unrelated, but I would also do my best to criminalize things like Black Bloc and other things that can help hide someone's identity from the cops.

=Economics= Practical BERNHEism adopts the economics of Bull Moose Progressivism in its entirety. That is to say that he believes in somewhat regulated (but mostly free) capitalism, the same system America uses right now, with extreme anti-corporation, anti-monopoly and pro-worker measures to ensure the American Dream for ALL people. The market would weed out the lazy and the inept by itself, there's no need for massive state regulation to do what a market would do naturally. Massive corporations and monopolies can be likened to blood clots; they clog up and impede an otherwise near-flawless system. Competition drives innovation, commies can seethe and markets good, ackshually. I also believe in the partial nationalization of certain things like healthcare, water, banks, and housing, in case a crisis occurs (think of the 2008 crisis or the Great Depression) or someone abuses the system. If you stretch it REEEALLY far, though, you can consider my economics to be a form of social democracy (with WELFARE CHAUVINISM!!!). He also believes in protectionism, although he is more than okay with trading with other countries. However, he dislikes companies interfering with other countries (see this) and wants to get American companies out of the third world not only because it's a human rights issue, but also because he wants to revive local industry at home. He also wishes to leave the UN and eventually NATO once Russia is under control. Other than this, the basic structures of capitalism should remain unmolested.

Research and Technology
I believe that research, along with big pharma, should be nationalized to its fullest extent as permitted by the constitution, on the other hand, the former so that the state could have a tighter grip on the flow of technology (what the public does/does not have) and the latter so that they would not have to worry about costs and profit nearly as much as if they were all private. This would allow the dream of free healthcare to be realized. On the other hand, I believe in transhumanism (although not full ), but if we do go that far, modifications should be doled out to everyone equally, so a massive disparity doesn't occur.

=Social Issues and Hot Topics=

Class
Unlike most Capitalists, Practical BERNHEism recognizes both the existence of the bourgeoise and the existence of the proletariat. However, that doesn't have to be a BAD thing. Simply put, I want to make it so that everyone can become a member of the bourgeoisie if they put in enough effort, but being a proletarian would still be more common. But, again, that does not have to be a bad thing.

Race
Every race will be equal, and I will try my hardest to loosen racial divides throughout the nation. This involves denouncing groups like BLM and the Proud Boys, attempting to criminalize those groups (or pressing them even further, alternatively) like the KKK, NBPP, Nation of Islam, Atomwaffen, etc. The hood needs reform, not scorn, and it's about time that we actually give half a shit about improving low-income areas and neighborhoods so they can unlock their full potential.

LGB+
Easily the thing I'm the most conservative on. I will do everything (and I mean EVERYTHING) in my power to make sure LGBT/sex-related stuff is kept as far away from our classrooms and everyday life as humanly possible. Heterosexuality is given "representashun" because THEY'RE THE MAJORITY. If I am able to, I would set very, very strict codes of conduct for pride marches (no exposed skin, sexual conduct, suggestive themes, appeal to children, 18+ only, etc) as well as keeping it away from politics. It's not worth the efforts of our country to pander to LGB and ESPECIALLY not the T or the Q+, GD regrettably exists, but it's classed as a mental health disorder for a reason. In a twisted way, mutilating yourself due to GD is comparable to listening to the voices inside of your head, in cases of schizophrenia. Just because you CAN, doesn't mean you SHOULD.

Environment
I love the environment as much as Teddy did :D I like national parks, and I wish to make more. I also want to strengthen the EPA, USDA, and other organizations that relate or could possibly relate to our environment. I want to make conservation efforts far stronger (this cannot happen anymore) as well. I also want to begin the gradual shift towards nuclear power, by educating the masses with pro-Nuclear sentiment, subsidizing the creation of new nuclear power plants and new research into the field in particular, as well as cutting off subsidies and kickbacks, as well as using litigation, to drastically weaken the fossil fuel industry (but only when they can be replaced with a reliable base of nuclear power).

Women
See here. I do, however, believe that modern 3rd-wave feminism is very dangerous and should not be endorsed by the state, the media, or any respectable institution.

Abortion
I take a somewhat strict approach to abortion. I would separate it into two classes; I would legalize the former until the 3rd trimester (although a 1st trimester is much preferred if possible), and the latter would be almost impossible to get without some grand excuse. After birth, the child would be taken away by the state and put into foster care if that is what the parent(s) desire, but both parties would have to pay child support for that child until they are out of the foster care/adoption system, and 5 years after that. There's a fine line between choice and utter negligence. Sex is SACRED! Prudism 4evar!
 * Abortion Due To Circumstance (inbreeding, severe disability, rape, the possible death of the mother, etc.)
 * Abortion Due To Action ("preventable" abortions as the result of an unwanted pregnancy)

=Nation= The most striking similarity of his ideology with the OLD one is nationalism. I believe in the form of highly-aggressive cultural nationalism (that can even go full ultranationalist if the people will it) that focuses on national pride and the values we were built on 250 years ago. However, this also comes with pulling out from most places (except for Europe, most of Asia, and a few island bases) and giving material (not capital) reparations to countries we've harmed. We should NOT be in the Middle East anymore, 9/11 was 20 years ago. However, I still want to monitor Russia and China as basic national security risks so that I will keep a close eye on them. Still, I will not be as aggressive towards China, but far more towards Russia.

Diplomacy
He thinks that America should not be held to the standards that Europe and the rest of the world sets and is no fan of globalization. That does not mean America will throw out Geneva or whatever, we'll just be far more domineering towards European and other 1st-world countries, especially those that seek to limit our boundless ambition. He supports the following countries: Other than that, he's pretty isolationist and does not want to interfere in European or Asian affairs unless America or its status as a superpower (and quest to become one of THESE) is threatened. He believes in cooperation with China (COOPERATION, not EXPLOITATION) to achieve these goals, and possibly helping them tend towards our own model. However, actions will still be taken abroad to protect our national security and our interests, but we will not be Henry Kissinger.
 * Palestine (Israel vs. Palestine throwdown)
 * Yugoslavia/Serbia (The Balkans™)
 * Ukraine (Russo-Ukrainian War)
 * African Nations and Others (Post-Colonialism)
 * No Opinion (China vs. Taiwan)
 * No Opinion (India vs. Pakistan)

=Politician Filth= As soon as I get into office, I would immediately prepare a massive investigation, aimed at whatever party is weakest/not mine and thoroughly investigate that group with unprecedented transparency. All I need is a cause, just ONE step out of line. Hopefully, this would tear even more holes and give me excuses to investigate everyone else, too. I have a feeling that we're gonna see a nest of vipers.

 * [[File:Glencoe.png]] Glencoeism: You're pretty based for a standard liberal, although some of your policies tend to utterly disregard the constitution, especially the whole State Liberalism thing (which I hope is a LARP). Also, Florida will be staying in America. (81/100)

Meh

 * [[File:InexistentIcon.png]] Inexistent Ideology: Authoritarian commie, which is very cringe, but everything else is very good. (56/100)

Cringe
=Comments= Glencoe- Add me plz - Moderate BERNHE real?! (also re-add me)

Glencoe- I know bulk is in Floridan independence
 * Just so you all know, this is just policy that I would implement IRL (practical BERNHEism), [[File:Technototball.png]] he is still my preferred ideology for a hypothetical perfect BERNHE world. Therefore, consider the relations on Techno-Ultranationalism canon, and these ones are just ones I would take if I actually ran the USA.
