The Republican Platform

https://gop.com/about-our-party/

OUR PLATFORM

Republicans believe in liberty, economic prosperity, preserving American values and traditions, and restoring the American dream for every citizen of this great nation. As a party, we support policies that seek to achieve those goals.

Our platform is centered on stimulating economic growth for all Americans, protecting constitutionally-guaranteed freedoms, ensuring the integrity of our elections, and maintaining our national security. We are working to preserve America's greatness for our children and grandchildren.

The Republican Party's legacy -- we were originally founded in 1854 for the purpose of ending slavery -- compels us to patriotically defend America's values. As the left attempts to destroy what makes America great, the Republican Party is standing in the breach to defend our nation and way of life


Ain't all that the same thing Democrats are working towards? As the expression goes, "watch what they do, not what they say."

To ensure the rich people never have to pay taxes and that crazy, ignorant, violent people get all the guns they want. To ensure that workers never get ahead work long hours and still not make ends me. And they’re proud of it.
American values, really, like the peaceful transfer of power?

I don’t think any antifa or BLM would even know how to tie a noose. Who the fuck knows how to tie a noose? Redneck racists

LOL!!

Oh yes, in the same way January 6th was legitimate political discourse.

Takes unmitigated gall to write something like this platform statement.

So very Trumpian in scope: Don't believe your lying eyes and ears. Only I can fix it.

The wrecker = the savior. And truth is no longer truth.

Orwell should be getting royalties.
