I just searched for what the US Republicans actually want:
No, absolutely no redeeming qualities here.
Yeah that’s a REAL generous list if you look at the laws that they are actually pushing. Keep in mind they are passing laws at the state level mostly and preventing the federal govt from restricting it.
It’s basically is the confederacy trying to “rise again” as they’ve always threatened.
If they are not stopped politically it will lead to them being stopped violently just like their shitty forefathers were. The rest of us are trying everything we can to help their supporters understand what they are doing, but their propaganda has been strong for decades.
Here's the GOP platform:
Koch
It's the Libertarian platform from 1980!! https://lpedia.org/wiki/Document:National_Platform_1980
Although I'm not a conservative myself, I still see a case to be made for a government that is "conservative". I.e. a government that doesn't respond with a law for every single small thing. There is a danger to turn a country into a bureaucratic nightmare. Where people will find loopholes in laws, and a government responds by patching that loophole up with another law or clause. A labyrinth of laws can and will cause suffering for people that are edge cases.
Or do I read the term "government conservatism" wrong here?
The parties don't stand for anything. They are self-preserving entities.
They are defined by their electorates
In the sense I am defined by the bowl of crackers I just ate
White and crumbly, possibly oregano flavored?
I wish. I am made out of yellow stuff that might be cheese
