So what does the Republican Party stand for now?

It's now Spring 2021. So what does the GOP stand for at this point in time?

Anyone have a clue?

I sure don't.

 

There is now two Republican parties. One is whatever Trump says it is. It’s mostly anchored by a tough immigration policy. The other Republican Party is more the traditional , mainstream variety. Hard to believe at times but there is a lot of overlap of the two varieties. Both are usually pro gun, pro life, pro law enforcement , low tax, and other similarities. Trump is so divisive, even within his own party, for all intents and purposes as long as he is considered the leader, the party is neutered. Enough to make noise, not enough to win most major elections, or swing States.

 

I begged the RNC people who called for donations, to demand that the candidates pledge a real oath to our Constitution and make them keep the oath, but all they could say is that all the RNC does is raise money and give it to Republicans. They have no way to make RINOs at least keep their word. I suggested that they cut the RINOs off but that might make them mad and change parties, or it might cause them to lose the election to a dem.


The only point they might have had if they were smart, would be that President Trump wouldn’t have been supported by the RNC. But the RNC didn’t demand that the rest of the Republicans to stand up for President Trump when it was clear to all that the election was a fraud.


To me it looks like the individual Republican sees herself as able to be as liberal as the donor dollars want her to be.

 

So what do you think will happen? Will the two factions cancel each other out? Will the GOP die? Will some form of Trumpism or other cult-like following replace it?

And will they just keep peddling the same old stuff as Coachac stated, the pro life, pro gun? Seems to me the Jan 6th blew up their pro law enforcement myth.

 

To put the brakes on the idiot and parasites in the White house, is most important.

 

the 2020 republican platform is "continued support of trump's america first agenda." i suppose that still stands?

 

We fired the idiot and his leeches, remember?

 

The duopoly functions for the maintenance of the duopoly. Its principles are based upon maintaining the duopoly. Issues and problems are distorted into incoherent ramblings in order to maintain the duopoly. Ideology is absent except to the extent that it can be argued in such a way as to maintain the duopoly.
Americans are largely 'conservative' fiscally and 'liberal' socially, as with the rest of the western world and much of the rest. That matters not at all to the duopoly which...
Well, it is clear whom the duopoly represents and what it exists for. It is not in the interest of sincere people who consider themselves Republicans, nor for those who consider themselves Democrats.
Voters need to reject what has been inflicted upon them, and the way to do it is provided in a peaceful manner by the Constitution.

 

And replaced them with something far worse, you will be jumping in the air in 4 years to see if you are still spry enough to kick yourself in your own ass for such a mistake.

 

worse leeches than his children errr "senior consultants?"

 

The party in general, for the most part is still pro law enforcement. The exception to that is ,the most radical of Trump wings first and only real concern is that Trump wins at any cost.

Hard to tell exactly what happens to the party going forward, but I see what happened in the recent Georgia senate runoff's as an omen. Most elections of consequence are won in the middle. The middle ie, suburban housewives, independents, and the millions that wouldn’t revisit the psychosis of Trump if their life depended on it, sure make the party toast for now.

The Trump party will likely be relegated to only winning deep red areas. Most of their noise will be focused on rousing rallies, dreams of storming the Capitol again, and causing whatever other chaos they can along the way. I don’t see the Republican Party having any real future if a large part of it exists just to serve Trump.

 

To hell with the parties. They don’t serve or represent anything but the greed of politicians. Both sides flip flop on positions so quickly, that I can’t keep up with who believes what. I’ll never identify with a party again. I look at every situation and leader on a case by case basis, and see how it compares with my personal beliefs.

 

The POT stands for whatever the Orange Insurrectionist decides it stands for on any given day.

 

Its the party of flip flops, and hypocrisy......Nothing more nothing less!

 

I think this is the approach we all should take.

 

Trump could win again if the crapfest by the Democrats continues for the rest of Biden's term. It all depends on who people dislike more.

Having said that I predict Candace Owens will run against Kamala. Trump is just supporting the party. I doubt he will run again.

 

Trump won deep blue states in 2016. There is many reasons states can flip like the disaster called the Biden-Harris administration. They are litteraly screwing up far worse in the first 3 months than Trump in his entire 4 years. That will affect alot of voters for sure.

 

For Trump, mostly. Other than that... xenophobia at the southern boarder seems to be the only recurrent theme right now. Oh! And finding ways to enact voter suppression laws, of course. They have only won the popular vote only once in the last six Presidential elections. So that's the only way they believe they might ever change that. Doing things that would actually appeal to people (other than the billionaires and the racists) is not a strategy they are even considering any more.

 

Their platform is to cement minority rule, so they can keep pushing through their tax cutting, government destroying agenda.

 

Yes, the Democratic Party is a poor alternative if you have any Republican values. Trump should have won easily. He’s just too divisive and his ego is insane. Candace Owens gets mentioned a lot but I’m keeping a close eye on Desantis. He’s basically Trump sans the drama.

 

Really? Even if there is an accounting of his negligence, contributing to the unnecessary deaths of thousands?

sounds like a great idea and can work for some people. But for those that have strong opinions on things like guns, abortion, and a few other things, tend to for better or worse to stick with their party. The politicians know this and make sure they have all the proper boxes checked so they have the support of the parties base. We should do away with all parties. Each candidate should state their individual beliefs and we vote for them as Individuals.

 

Conservatives do seem to want to stick to voting against their best interest.

 

Owning the Libs.

That's it. That's all they got. And Whatever Trump wants.

That's their platform.

 

I could definitely get behind that, along with each candidate only able to spend the same amount, no personal funding allowed to give stupidly wealthy people an advantage. While running for office all wealth be carefully tracked by a government body to ensure nobody is throwing money and favors around. Also equal political advertisement airing times, etc. Basically, my ideal would be that we are voting for the person him or herself, not for the advantages they have through funding or favors.
