2016 GOP Platform Redux
Dear Editor,
A quick look at the Republican Party Platform, which they have rolled over from 2016 with no visible changes, stands in stark contrast to the (National Socialist) Democrat Party Platform.
The biggest, most obvious thing that jumps out in the Democrat document is that they advocate bigger, more intrusive government control. In other words, socialism. And even then it’s not enough for the extreme left of the party, like the squad, or as I prefer to refer to them, the coven. Bunker Biden sat down with Socialist Democrat Bernie Sanders and struck a deal on how things would really go. They have openly stated they will be able to manipulate Biden to get the things they want.
If the ‘rats get control of the Congress and the White House you will never see a conservative/Republican majority again. They will take actions to ensure a one-party rule for generations. They’ll change the makeup of the Supreme Court by adding more judges, which will solidify their ability to ram their agenda down the throats of the American people regardless of what the majority wants. We’ll literally become a banana republic third world country with a ruling class consisting of our “elected officials” and their sycophants with the rest of us being their puppets being made to dance to their tunes. Individual freedom, the entire base on which this country was founded on after plenty of blood was shed by brave, far-sighted patriots, will be a thing of the past. But, hey, they were the original “evil white, racist males,” Only according to the history I was taught there were plenty of others who did not fit that description who also paid the ultimate price for that cause. But the ‘rats don’t want that out there because it doesn’t fit their version of history.
People are calling this the single most important election in American history. This has been said about other elections in the past but this time it’s true. The results of this election have the potential for “…fundamentally transforming the United States of America” for the worst.
And here is a quote from Mrs. Dear Leader to consider.
“We are going to have to change our conversation; we’re going to have to change our traditions, our history; we’re going to have to move into a different place as a nation.” — Michelle Obama, May 14, 2008
Your future is at stake. Get out and vote!

Were you speaking at the RNC? Because you titled this and led off with statements suggesting you’d talk about the Republican Platform and then you just talked about the Democratic platform the whole time to try to stir fear. This is eerily similar to the RNC speeches from Monday and I imagine the Trump Clan will share with us the rest of the week.
Don’t be confused, rolling over a platform from 4 years ago is not an indicator that things are working, it’s an indicator that our leadership is too lazy and closed-minded to see the world is changing around us and planning how to adapt to those inevitable changes.
It seems you are especially fearful that change would be a bad thing, but Michelle Obama’s speech (over 12 years ago) was simply acknowledging that even though we are (well at that time anyway) a strong and great country there is still and always work to do to make it better. But go ahead, pretend everything was solved bigly 4 years ago.
Would that I would have been given that honor.
If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it
@MW, Whooo HOOO! You are absolutely correct, they have NOTHING to offer just spout gloom and doom and throw sticks at the DNC. When asked by his buddies at Faux news what his goals were after re-election… DEAD SILENCE from herr trump.
Lizzy, Lizzy, Lizzy.
An economy like we haven’t seen in decades, a 3% unemployment rate, every category of Americans seeing a rise in employment, more money in the pockets of average Americans, only stopped by a virus from a hostile foreign country who, I might point out, was being pressed by President Trump’s “no plan and can’t be held to ‘policy’” actions but even now starting to recover, and the first Middle East peace deal since the Camp David Accords in the ’70s,
I appreciate that you acknowledge that re-electing Trump could not possibly fundamentally transform the United States of America for the better, this election has the potential to make things worse (as you say).
I’m not so pessimistic. Get these clowns out of office and maybe we won’t be living in a circus.
Democrats in Congress spent over three years cramming impeachment down our throats instead of doing what they were elected to do!
President Trump stands up for what’s best for ALL Americans and we should stand up for him!
America First!
Writing articles of impeachment is literally one of the things congresspeople are elected to do. Like that IS part of their job especially when someone is flaunting that they get to play by a different set of rules and they work exceptionally hard to hide and cover up their missteps. If only he could build a wall to protect him from diversity of thought….. or a NDA to mute all the witnesses…..
If the process was too slow, the senate majority leader had the opportunity to move it along a little more quickly on their end.
If you have your way, we will very quickly become a banana republic on a par with the worst of those in South America. If that is what you really want, please move there and let the rest of us continue to live in a vibrant, modern, prosperous country.
I don’t understand why all these old white guys hate Banana Republic. Perhaps they were just used to the attire of the Old Navy.
Badum-tsss
@Tommy, LOL!
If you want no law and order (defund the police), socialism (next step is communism), and higher taxes for all (except the ones who don’t pay taxes and like all the free stuff they can get), guess you’ll be voting for Democrats.
@Alan, what exactly is the RNC platform, oh yeah, everything they said in 2016 and haven’t delivered. I get it. Bunker Biden?? Really? Seems I’ve only seen recent reports of ONE individual doing bunker “inspections” recently and it wasn’t Biden. Didn’t see Biden order the violent removal of peaceful protesters so he could hold an upside down bible in front of a church he’s never been to either.
The peaceful protestors tried to burn down that church.
What?!?!?!? Please let’s see that source. Oh, never mind, you are citing a tweet from the always truthful president.

@Bryan, not THAT night.
RNC didn’t bother to debate any revisions to the platform since their “Dear Leader” has no plan and can’t be held to a ‘policy’ as he prefer to make quick poortly thought out decisions based only on his political standing.
Go put your tinfoil hat back on Alan. You are scaring the neighbors again.
You’re right Chris, an economy like we haven’t seen in decades, a 3% unemployment rate, every category of Americans seeing a rise in employment, more money in the pockets of average Americans, only stopped by a virus from a hostile foreign country who, I might point out, was being pressed by President Trump’s “no plan and can’t be held to ‘policy'” actions but even now starting to recover, and the first Middle East peace deal since the Camp David Accords in the ’70s,
If it ain’t broke, don’t try try to fix it.
Better a tinfoil hat then blinders and earplugs.
Trump continually says that, “the U.S. is experiencing the best economy ever.” This is obvious gaslighting since the new results show that President Trump’s best year of job growth was 2.314 million in 2018 (the first year of the tax cut) but it falls short of any of Obama’s last three years. His boasts also don’t stand up when you peel the onion on GDP growth and realize that the Federal deficits during his Presidency will exceed any that were not impacted by a recession.

@Alan an economy he DESTROYED as he waited for virus to “magically disappear” and was riding from 2009. An unemployment drop of 3% from 4.7% at beginning of his term isn’t a big deal when full employment is anything below 5%. Now, you have something to talk about if say you took it from a high of 10% in 2009 to 4.7% in 2016. Well, all I got to say… there sure is a whole bunch of fixing to do now for somebody.
Why are all these Dems so willing for the conservative side of the US to pay extra taxes that Bunker Biden is saying that he will initiate when he first takes office(Lord I. Hope not).If that is what they want We can Accommodate them by letting Them send the taxeS Joe wants them start paying when he takes over.I guess the reason Dems want the money is to payback the BLM’s of our society who are tearing up and making a mockery of the US. They are just a bunch of dumb thugs who are uneducated to the ways of the nation.Who’s paying for the millions of dollars of business’s they are burning to the ground. In a normal society all work and be responsible adults.Where are the parents for thes children????
@Rich, I will guess by your letter you do not make 400,000 a year or own a huge corporation. If you do, I apologize. Otherwise, what taxes are you talking about that ONLY conservatives pay? If you bother to GET EDUCATED about a political platform which amazingly enough the DNC has, you find out Biden (no bunker, that is for your current pres the bunker “inspector”) is un-apologetically:
•Repealing the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) individual income tax reductions for those earning over $400,000 and restoring the top marginal income tax rate to 39.6 percent from today’s 37 percent. The Section 199A deduction would also be phased out for those earning over $400,000.
•Taxing capital gains at ordinary income tax rates—up from a top rate of 23.8 percent today—for those earning over $1 million. Biden would also eliminate step-up in basis for inherited assets with capital gains, instead taxing those gains at death.
•Capping the value of itemized deductions to 28 percent for those in higher marginal tax brackets and restoring the Pease limitation on itemized deductions for those with taxable income above $400,000.
•Raising the corporate income tax from 21 percent to 28 percent.
•Imposing a 15 percent minimum book tax on corporations with $100 million or greater in income.
•Doubling the tax rate on Global Intangible Low Tax Income (GILTI) earned by foreign subsidiaries of U.S. firms, from 10.5 percent to 21 percent.
•Imposing the 12.4 percent Social Security payroll tax on wage and self-employment income earned above $400,000.
How are corporations that make billions and millions able to keep raking it in and pay in some cases…ZERO tax dollars??? How is that fair? I don’t care who wins, somebody if not all of us are going to have a tax increase or that bugaboo the Repubs are so fond of yelling about, THE DEFICIT will swallow the world. Please stop watching all those political commercials for EITHER side and get educated.
