[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What will the Republicans stand for in 2026?

This is what I see as the GOP Platform in 2026:

[b]Erosion of Democracy and Authoritarian Drift[/b]
Undermining elections, empowering autocrats, and dismantling democratic norms — the GOP has embraced power over principle.

[b]Weaponizing Government Against Political Opponents[/b]
From threats to prosecute rivals to purging civil servants, Republicans are turning the state into a partisan weapon.

[b]Attacks on Reproductive Rights[/b]
The party has led the rollback of abortion access and bodily autonomy, even in cases of rape or medical emergency.

[b]Promotion of Conspiracy Theories and Misinformation[/b]
From QAnon to COVID to election denial, the GOP has become a breeding ground for dangerous falsehoods.

[b]Undermining Press Freedom[/b]
Labeling journalists as “enemies of the people” and spreading disinformation to discredit factual reporting.

[b]Climate Denial and Environmental Rollbacks[/b]
Blocking clean energy, gutting environmental protections from known carcinogens and harmful pollution, and denying science while the planet burns.

[b]Suppression of Voting Rights[/b]
Gerrymandering, voter ID laws, and purges designed to silence opposition and rig outcomes.

[b]Fiscal Hypocrisy and Exploding Deficits[/b]
Trillions added to the debt while claiming to be fiscally responsible — all to fund tax cuts for the rich.

[b]Corporate Welfare and Tax Breaks for Billionaires[/b]
Massive giveaways to the ultra-wealthy while working families get crumbs and broken promises.

[b]Encouraging Political Violence and Failing to Condemn It[/b]
From January 6 to threats against officials, silence or complicity has become the norm.

[b]Cuts to Social Safety Nets[/b]
Slashing Medicaid, food aid, and disability support while claiming to defend “real Americans.”

[b]Denial, Attack and Disregard for Scientific Expertise and Public Health[/b]
COVID denial, anti-vaccine rhetoric, and rejection of basic science have endangered lives.

[b]Undermining Public Education and Promoting Censorship[/b]
Book bans, attacks on teachers, and politicized curricula threaten intellectual freedom.

[b]Cult-Like Loyalty to Individual Leaders[/b]
Loyalty to Trump overrides law, ethics, and even longstanding conservative principles.

[b]Sexual Misconduct and Exploitation[/b]
Repeated scandals involving underage women and failure to hold perpetrators accountable.

[b]Isolationist Foreign Policy[/b]
Abandoning and maligning allies and cozying up to dictators weakens America’s global standing.

[b]Masked Goon Squads[/b]
Using anonymous force against civilians during protests — a chilling abuse of power.

[b]Destroying Consumer Safety and Financial Protections[/b]
Deregulation has left Americans vulnerable to scams, unsafe products, and corporate abuse.

[b]Inflation Without Relief[/b]
Policies that worsen inflation while blocking efforts to ease the burden on working families.

I'm not wrong on any of these...[/quote]

I will take all of these over losing my job because of Democrats immigration policies

Hierarchy of needs

I need to work to support my family.   [/quote]

So you are a day laborer or picking vegetables and fruit in hot weather?  No undocumented immigrant has been in competition for your job.  In fact, you probably hired illegals to take care of your brats and clear you pig sty house.  You are a fool.[/quote]

This is a remarkably short-sighted and simplistic perspective.  Initial illegals may be unskilled laborers and others in menial employment roles.  Their children benefit from taxpayer funded education and social welfare support; many go on to become better educated, and consequently competitive for jobs requiring more language and other skills.  At that point, those 2nd gen illegals are beginning to compete with legal immigrants and with citizens.  The laws of supply and demand dictate inexorably that as the supply of better skilled workers increased, regardless of immigration status, competition among them for jobs will increase, depressing wages.  Eliminating illegal workers results in a smaller workforce, and less competition for employment.  Employers seeking employees have to become more attractive in order to compete successfully.  Econ 101.  [/quote]

Your post shows a remarkably short-sighted and simplistic perspective.

What has made the United States a world leader in the past few decades is its brain power, innovation, research, flexibility, openness, desirability, freedom, etc etc etc. Non-US citizens and immigrants are embedded in every part of what makes this country great and (since some of you only care about the almighty $) wealthy.

What are you expecting to happen to all of our research when the brightest minds no longer can and no longer want to come here???

Thank you very little, Trump voters. You are destroying our country with your small mindedness.[/quote]

You just know that when someone breaks out an Econ 101 reference that they probably never took it and they definitely never took anything afterwards.[/quote]
