Do the Republican have any policies?

At the last Republican convention, the RNC famously didn’t bother in writing a policy platform (it used an out of date one from several years before)

And since they lost the last presidential election race and absolute control of the Senate I have not been able to find any set of official or even semi-official policy proposals

I mean we can see what they are doing but these all seem negative (for example voter suppression) do they have any positive ideas?

 

As evidenced by their only legislative accomplishments in years; Government of the rich, by the rich, and for the rich.
The rest of their time is occupied trying to convince peasants with torches that the peasants with pitchforks are coming to steal their fire.

 

It's currently in flux, but some of the more interesting proposals include the following.

The Republicans have proposed raising an army and sacking Charleston. It worked once and it will work again.

The resulting peace dividend will provide enough funds to promote the design of sustainable modular vehicles that look cool and can be inexpensively maintained by the average homeowner. For the first time, the American Dream of chrome trim, fins and comet brake lights will be available to all.

And everyone will get a geodesic dome home, if you want one, in your choice of seafoam green or cerulean blue. These will be delivered by drone. Orders merely need to be stated out loud because they are already listening to you through your devices.

The FCC shall be dissolved and pirate radio stations will broadcast good payola-free music through our fair land.

A male counterpart to the Statue of Liberty shall be constructed in the image and likeness of Wolfman Jack.

A satellite formed in the image of Bob's Big Boy will be put in low orbit for reasons that will remain classified. Don't mess with the Big Boy!

 

A most concise and witty definition of a reactionary! "They ain't what they used to be." Perfect.

 

Yeah; they are. Dr. Seuss; circa 1941.

I've done a lot of marching in my time. We are all subject to delusion. When I suffer self-doubt in these matters, I like to visualize such political divides as a police barricade. All this shouting and sign waving; am I on the right side?

1. I look to my left and right. Are some of my compatriots KKK, neo-Nazis, neo-Confederates, or Fascist militia?
2. I look across the way. Are some of those opposing me KKK, neo-Nazis, neo-Confederates, or Fascist militia?

If the answer to the first is "No" and the second "Yes", I find that reassuring; I'm on the right side. If the inverse were true, I'd find that very disconcerting, and I'd withdraw to reflect upon and reassess my position.

 

No marching for me - but I've been known to mosey to a peaceful protest.

I look for:

1. Smiling, gentle faces singing songs
2. Angry uptight faces flinging expletives

I look for #1 and try not to surround myself with #2. If the other side is full of #2, then I know we are successful because they are bugged. Love your enemies and drive 'em nuts.

 

Like your style, Cello Song!!

 

Political parties whose members demand a dictatorship are usually referred to as lynch mobs, and often carry knives and pitch forks. Donald Duck himself could not stop evangelicals from storming the palace, and they would tear him into tiny pieces if he tried.

People don't get it, you can't have a functional government, when half the damned country votes for Donald Duck. Half of them still insist the sun revolves around the earth, and should have their own reality tv shows.

 

I've lost count of the number of demonstrations, marches and pickets I've attended and done battle with the 'tother side' or the Police.

 

in the picture, the portrait on the right is John C Calhoun of South Carolina, the greatest defender of slavery in Congress and the greatest advocate of secession by slave states. So the guy carrying a Confederate flag in front of Calhoun's portrait is perfect political symmetry. Why is a portrait of Calhoun still on a wall in the capitol building?

Mr Mercedes ( or in this case ) Ms. ............

I would think that a peaceful permitted gathering/protest whatever WOULD NOT be blocking the roadway so?

 

It can be done but you need the police to set up detours. I suppose it feels strong to be confrontational but it costs dearly in popular support.

 

there are 2 wings of the Republican Party. one wing wants to turn the political clock back to 1950. the other wing wants to turn the political clock back to 1850. both wings want to stop black people from voting.

 

Hate, loathe, demonize and blame society's problems on anyone who is "different." It might or might not be about the money. That's how I see it. Rich people can be cool, but the Grizzly Old Party is particularly choosing not to be lately.
