How about just standing for DECENCY and HONESTY.

ooooh, here's some honestly for you. You've been telling us how wonderful and wholesome government employees and organizations are. How we should trust them and distrust the private sector.

Government is wonderful - it's a theme all over DCUM. Not unexpected given the origin of the website... DC.

With all that said....

Nine out of the last ten FDA commissioners have gone on to work for the pharmaceutical industry.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Sexual Misconduct and Exploitation
Repeated scandals involving underage women and failure to hold perpetrators accountable.

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

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

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

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

I'm not wrong on any of these...

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.

What job are you working that is at risk from Democrat immigration policies? Are you a farmworker? Line cook in a restaurant? Maid?

Or are you talking about H1 visas? Because importing people from India to work in STEM H1 visas has had a lot of strong support from Republicans like Don Bacon, Rich McCormick as well as Trump himself.
