While most elections run on platforms, republicans seem to be running on lies and innuendos and their patented hearsay facts and faux news in the making. Remember if it is a dumb idea or violates the constitution or other laws, it forms the foundation of republican ethics
His utter detestabilty as a human cost the Repubs the Presidency, House, and Senate in 2020 and the Senate in 2022. Can’t wait until the Repubs run him again in 2024 and see the fallout.
The current “Republican” Party has passed it’s Point of No Return; their implacable extremism has made it impossible for them to reverse their actions, or to return to their starting points of “Fiscal Responsibility,” “Law and Order,” and “Limited Government.”
Here’s the Republican “platform.” They won’t write it down because too many voters might read it, so I did it for them. Despite being in the minority in terms of the US population, members of the SCOTUS, “Conservatives,” RWNJs, and white supremacists are attempting to drag this country back to their imaginary Jeffersonian agrarian idyl. The 1790 census (when Jefferson was Secretary of State), counted 5.3M Americans. Only white males owning 50 acres or more of land were permitted to vote, approximately 6% of the population. Free white men who did not own land, free white females, and slaves could not vote. In 1790 the American population was largely rural, making a living by farming. Our most recent census counted 332,403,650 Americans. Current estimates are that 83% of Americans live in urban areas. They do not work at farming. Of course, a country of 300-plus million Americans requires a larger government than one with only 5.3 million Americans. Please don’t worry about how “small government” works with regulating what goes on in your bedroom, or prohibiting women (still citizens as far as I know) from crossing state lines for medical care. Nevertheless, in pursuit of “small government,” the following are conservatives’ goals for their “Jeffersonian” America
1. No women’s rights.
2. No civil rights for people of color, or for any other minority groups.
3. No immigration, other than Caucasians.
4. No labor unions.
5. No health insurance.
6. No legal recourse due to Republican-packed courts.
7. No social security.
8. No disability insurance.
9. No minimum wage.
10. No free and fair elections (ultimately, no elections).
11. Imposed state religion; government funding of religious schools.
12. Unregulated militias unchecked by Republican-packed courts.
13. No work on mitigating climate change; no environmental protections.
Oh, I almost forgot! Lying about and misrepresenting everything Democrats try to accomplish.
GOP politicians don’t care about the environment or mitigating climate change because they intend to stay permanently in office and use their money and power to take over remaining livable locations as environmental conditions worsen. Republican leaders don’t care if America dies as long as they can feed off the carcass for their lifetimes. How many Americans would have to die or be virtually enslaved in jobs with less than living wages for this “platform” to work? Why do you people who support today’s GOP, Trump, and Trump wannabes think that you will come out winners under this regime? NEVER MISS AN OPPORTUNITY TO VOTE, AND VOTE BLUE!
Would still be a republican with conservative belief:
“Conservatism, then, is not a commitment to limited government and liberty – or a wariness of change, a belief in evolutionary reform, or a politics of virtue. These may be byproducts of conservatism, one or more of its historically specific and ever-changing modes of expression. But they are not its animating purpose. Neither is conservatism a makeshift fusion of capitalists, Christians, and warriors, for that fusion is impelled by a more elemental force – the opposition to the liberation of men and women from the fetters of their superiors, particularly in the private sphere. Such a view might seem miles away from the libertarian defense of the free market, with its celebration of the atomistic autonomous individual. But it is not. When the libertarian [conservative] looks out upon society, he does not see isolated individuals; he sees private, often hierarchical, groups, where a father governs his family and an owner his employees… the conservative position stems from a genuine conviction that a world thus emancipated will be ugly, brutish, base, and dull. It will lack the excellence of a world where the better man commands the worse… Each in his own way subscribes to this typical statement, from the nineteenth century, of the conservative creed: ‘To obey a real superior… is one of the most important of all virtues – a virtue absolutely essential to the attainment of anything great and lasting.’” – From The Reactionary Mind: Conservatism from Edmund Burke to Sarah Palin by Corey Robin
Brutal New Poll Shows Trump Losing Big to Biden, Even With Third Party Spoiler
new Monmouth University poll suggests that former president Donald Trump would be easily dispatched by President Joe Biden in a 2024 rematch of the 2020 presidential election, even if Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) were to mount a third party bid that most analysts believe would hamper the Biden campaign.
In the national survey of 910 voters, 47% of voters said they would definitely or probably support Biden, while just 40% said they would back Trump.
Remarkably, a potential unity ticket comprised of Manchin and former Utah governor Jon Huntsman® would barely eat into Biden’s lead, as he would still boast a 40%-34% advantage over Trump.
63% of voters professed to have an unfavorable view of Trump and half of voters said they would “definitely” not support Trump in 2024.
If Elephants knew what they were being used to represent they would be seriously irritated, and if there were any such in the US their reaction would probably be more than a bit destructive. Wonderful creatures, but Do Not cross them!
