Is "trolling the libs", now, the only consistent party platform of GOP

Doesn’t mean you let them hijack your own platforms and narratives.

They kind of have hijacked this platform. They constantly get to hijack the narrative everywhere because they have a propaganda wing and they run the “liberal” media, too.

The Republican Party's platform is one of:

- smaller government
- lower taxes allowing hard working tax payers to keep more of their money
- strong energy policy that uses a VARIETY of energy sources and doesn't rely on green energy
- following the Constitution and not working to eliminate the electoral college or stack the Supreme Court like the Democrats are working to do
- parents involvement in education and that funding goes with the student
- strengthening law enforcement and not defund it like the Democrats want to do
- having a strong defense with the emphasis in the military being on preparedness and not on equity or gender identity or CRT
- and, of course, a secure border. Biden doesn't know the meaning of the word.

There are other items as well. Glad you asked!!!

That’s what you think. Your party actually doesn’t have a platform, which is why McConnell is angry with Rick Scott who keeps claiming part of the platform is closing down Social Security.

Over the last five years, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has learned one lesson better than any other national Republican: If you want to go far in the Republican Party, you should emulate Donald Trump in every way possible. He’s pulled out all the stops: His home has been converted into an ersatz shrine to the former president; he’s directed his infant children to “build the wall” out of cardboard bricks and say, “Make America Great Again” in a campaign ad. He has even started talking with a quasi-Trumpian cadence and standing in that weird way where his arms are held awkwardly away from the body—a posture that makes him look a bit like an out-of-shape action figure.

But one of DeSantis’s achievements in his study of the Trumpian arts stands out above the rest. The Florida governor has, perhaps better than anyone in the contemporary GOP, mastered Trump’s main innovation: shitposting as policymaking. He has wrangled with Disney, one of his state’s most important employers, over made-up culture-war beefs about inclusivity and “wokeness.” On Thursday, he arguably took things further than ever, by flying dozens of asylum-seeking migrants to Martha’s Vineyard.

There is no actual point to DeSantis’s actions beyond weaponizing his own petulance—and the fervent hope that somewhere, even if it’s just online, some libs will be triggered. It’s a policy that accomplishes nothing beyond doing a grave indecency to some needful human beings for the sake of a live-action troll job.

And it was a classic Trump move: pointless, cruel, designed only to provoke. Trump’s border wall—still his signature policy—remains the quintessential policy position of the contemporary Republican Party. It is, first and foremost, a troll. It does little, if nothing, to reduce undocumented immigration. It is a metaphor more than a policy, flaunting what purports to be the simple solution to an incredibly complex issue.

Why is US in this precarious point where one major party out of two has given up governance and resorted to "trolling the libs" as its only policy? Where do we go from here. Is US going to die as a country from here onward? Will we be Germany of the past or USSR?

I don’t see why them going to Marthas Vineyard is such a problem.

No human is illegal. Welcome the new residents and take all the air out of Desantis’ sails.

Easy.

Throwing fits and declaring emergencies only makes you look bad. This is what republicans want. Don’t give it to them.

I’m a 2-issue voter, to the exclusion of everything.

First, I want total unrestricted access to reproductive healthcare, with no exceptions, no time limits, and no other BS. If a person in active labor decides at the last few seconds that they’d rather have a termination instead, they should be able to, no questions asked. Period.

Second, I want every single gun in this country banned and seized, even if that means searching private homes/cars/property/person, and throwing millions of holdouts and recalcitrants in prison, or shooting the ones who balk or resist. If the police are unwilling to do this, fire them and hire new ones. If the new ones won’t do it, use the army. If the army won’t do it, use UN peacekeepers. I don’t care who does it, or how. I just want guns and anyone who owns one, GONE.


Any Democrat that doesn’t support both doesn’t get my support. But anyone who primaries them will.

Interesting and ironic juxtaposition. You don’t want guns to kill people, yet you fully support late term abortion.

I like the moral gymnastics. 10/10.

Would you be fine with doctor bringing a gun to delivery? Just in case you requested termination? Hmmmmm. Dilemma for you.

OP, yes , it's seems to be what the GOP now lives for, instead of actually finding solutions, it's all about trolling. Just like the right wing trolls do in this forum every day.

How can live peacefully and let GOP live their way?

I see that we have no common value system in US anymore. I am pretty convinced now that, US needs to separate amicably or it will explode due the the difference of perspectives.

Well its not like Mitch McConnell is actually going to do anything if the GOP has a majority in congress.

He'd rather fight his own base than fight the Dems. The donors demand it.

No, there's solutions that the GOP base wants, but they will never happen. They're the opposite of what the donors want, and anything the donors don't want is considered to be "not who we are".

Thus next best thing is "owning the libs" and people buying merchandise to show their support. Their steam blows off and the status quo remains.

It's genius really.

Oh shut up.
No one is breaking up, Vlad.
We’ve had these movements before.
Getting a handle online propaganda would solve most of
Our issues. The internet is the Wild West. That was a sh—- show too.
Not forever.

Exactly, they love to complain about immigration yet did nothing when they had control of the presidency and both houses of Congress post-2016 election.

How do we separate amicably? It's not like we can just peacefully have 12ish blue states form one country and the 38ish other states form another. There are blue islands in nearly every red state. There are DEEP red areas in nearly every blue state. There would be exclaves, enclaves, and resistance/independence movements all over the place. If the US disintegrates, many blue areas would not want to be in a country with NYC. They'd see the opportunity to have more control over their destiny. Same with many red areas not wanting to be in a country with Appalachia.

I'm not saying the USA in its current form will exist forever. But when the breaking point comes don't be shocked if it's ugly.

The GOP platform in 2020 was literally fealty to Trump. That was it. When the right complains about immigration, inflation or anything else, they do not offer solutions. They just complain. That does not solve problems.

One may not agree with the approach of the democrats, but they have shown over the past year that they can pass legislation, conduct foreign policy and otherwise serve the American people.

Other than tax cuts that blow the debt and corrupt judges, what exactly has the GOP done the last 30 years?

And economically, it will be acute for the red states, who would no longer have blue states subsidizing their governments. The blue states have enough agricutlural viability to be self sustaining. The red states?
