[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I heard someone say that the last day of the RNC felt like Trump's Residency in Vegas. Just a hype show, no substance.

I am not going to attack Rs, but am sincerely curious to understand the policies that you support. Immigration, I get it. What else are they suggesting that you believe will make the country better? Policies. Not just getting Biden out. That is not a policy. What do they want to overturn?[/quote]

They've been very vocal about it:

They want to get rid of laws against discrimination in all form - against traditionally oppressed communities like Black Americans, against women, and against non-heterosexuals.

in fact, they want to ban LGBTQ people all-together push them back in the closet, make it legal to discriminate them in everything from housing to jobs to marriage, to get rid of anti-conversion "therapy" laws.   Guaranteed.

They want to get rid of government regulation. For the life of me I can't understand why Republicans love pollution and deadly food contamination breakouts and safety issues in building planes and cars, but apparently they value corporate profits over people's lives, so they're good living with those consequences of getting rid of regulation.

They want to make sure Christianity dominates American life in the way they think it did before the 1970s, so that everyone including Jewish, Hindu, Muslim, and non-regligiously affilitated people have to be subjected to specifically Christian prayers in schools and the workplace and government spaces.

They think there will be a magical drop in prices just by having Trump back in the White House, never mind that rounding up and deporting 11 million people who are working in so many areas of production is going to make prices soar, as are the tariffs Trump is threatening. Or that corporations are loathe to give up their record-setting profits of the past couple of years by lowering prices.

These are the issues I hear over and over again from Republicans.

Where do you read about the Christianity part because I have a hard time pinning that one down?  Thanks![/quote]

It was pulled, along with so much of their nonsense, from their fevered imaginations.  [/quote]
Republicans like this pp want us not to pay attention to the connections, plans and existing actions toward establishing evangelical Christianity as the state’s religion. They will not respond to this with substance, but with deflections (and possibly DARVO).

Voting for the GOP this time is a vote to end religious liberty.

“Roger Severino’s chapter on the Department of Health and Human Services urges the next conservative president to “maintain a biblically based, social science–reinforced definition of marriage and family.” Severino is concerned that federal programs will be subjected to “nonreligious definitions of marriage and family as put forward by the recently enacted Respect for Marriage Act.”

[…]

Right-wing groups do not want to ensure all Americans have religious freedom, but want to impose conservative Christian views on our religiously-diverse country.

The federal government does not need to worry about saving souls.
Instituting “biblically based” policies, saving souls and inducing Sabbath observance constitute a direct attack on religious freedom, a freedom guaranteed by the First Amendment, which keeps the government out of religion.”

Republicans are already using public school money to fund religious private schools. https://ohiocapitaljournal.com/2024/07/09/project-2025-looks-to-impose-publicly-funded-religious-education-on-america-ohio-already-has-that/

Let’s not forget that Sam Alito and other Republicans have been flying Christian nationalist flags. [/quote]

You are - as usual - pushing things you've read in Project 2025.  It's been stated, over and over, that Project 2025 is not the GOP/Trump's agenda.  So, just to clarify, I pulled this from Trump's ACTUAL AGENDA.  You can keep blathering on about your "Christian Nationalism" dreck, but we will simply keep pushing right back on you with facts:

3. [b]Republicans Will Defend Religious Liberty[/b]

We are the defenders of the First Amendment Right to Religious Liberty. It protects the Right not only to Worship according to the dictates of Conscience, but also to act in accordance with those Beliefs, not just in places of Worship, but in everyday life. [b]Our ranks include men and women from every Faith and Tradition, and we respect the Right of every American to follow his or her deeply held Beliefs.[/b] To protect Religious Liberty, Republicans support a new Federal Task Force on Fighting Anti-Christian Bias that will investigate all forms of illegal discrimination, harassment, and persecution against Christians in America.
