    You’re forgetting the other two inconsolable topics in G.A.G.

    Did you learn nothing in school about the major parties and their stances? I’m not exactly defending our indoctrinating school system here, but my point stands the same. You’re super simplifying literally just for the sake of demonizing your opposition. Either that, or you actually believe the strawman shit.

    Toss the labels. The only people being offered as president choices are both just different flavors of rich who don’t care about you. Let guns abortions and gays rot because they’ll never be solved. Consider right to repair or employee exploitation. Make progress where it’s actually possible!

      I’m simply asking for proposals by the GOP that look to solve issues, not remove rights, or consolidate power. It really shouldn’t be hard if they exist. But then again, we are talking about the same group that put out in 2020 that their party platform was just “Whatever Trump wants.”

        Why engage with the label? You’re only going to come up against tribalism that way. They think Democrats are baby killers trying to take away their means to protect themselves and encourage their kids to do stuff they think is yucky. That’s what the labels are doing for them, so they band with their group and fire shots the other way without thinking just the same. The labels make every attempt at improving life worthless while the rich among us exploit the drama.

          He’s not talking about the label he’s asking a very good, specific question:

          Name a policy proposal or decision made by the GOP as it stands since 2016 that has been aimed at helping anyone, improving anything, or otherwise taking steps to accomplish anything outside of stonewalling democrats and stripping rights away from conservatives “out groups”, and consolidating power/attacking election rights.

          I will even open this up to include state level legislation.

          Go ahead.

            I suppose that :
            In their point of view, the economical success is thanks to them.
            Their conservative take on what they perceive as excessive “progressivism” is saving America from making a mistake.
            Their opposition to censorship and the right to bear guns.
            They want to fight crimes, and in their view criminals wouldn’t exist because they would be too afraid of being caught.
            They believe that taxation is a theft, or at least excessive, and that they’re protecting the u.s.a. from an oppressive government. That without them people would have an easy life so wouldn’t work hard(, true to an extent, poor workers exist though, and childs of wealthy families have more interesting jobs).
            They love freedom.

            I.d.k., i don’t know them enough to defend them, including for the (far-)right of my own country, it’s a bit of a shame really, once you disagree with them their speeches aren’t very informative, that’s why i kinda regret not to have them to speak with.

            I’m not a Republican, so I don’t really follow what they’re doing. I try to focus specifically on right to repair and media censorship because maintaining a normal life at the same time as keeping up with people who are dedicated to all politics isn’t practical.

            I’m not defending them. I’m attacking tribalism itself. The labels are meant to overwhelm and make people take sides. I cannot sit here and spend so much time addressing them and that’s a part of my issue with all this.
