Personally I find it hard to understand how a political party can function when it's members barely agree on anything. I mean what does the GOP stand for exactly? What are it's beliefs? Simply being right-wing can't be enough because I'm pretty sure David Duke wouldn't be allowed to run for the republicans.

Same could probably be said of Democrats admittedly but to a lesser degree.


Generally, tax cuts, cutting spending overall, increasing defense spending, less government involvement in healthcare system, traditional American foreign policy, devolving big federal programs back to the states, less financial regulation, more local control of education, punitive criminal justice system, free trade, etc.

I think that's standard GOP talking points, but today's GOP has a lot of different viewpoints. The Trump wing doesn't like free trade, traditional American foreign policy, or letting a fair number of immigrants come in. The freedom caucus wing want to significantly cut taxes and spending, they don't like to compromise.

I mean if you watched the Republican primary debates in 2012 and 2016, it shows you how far right the GOP has gone. They're debating how many departments to completely eliminate, whether to eliminate the IRS, whether tithing is a model of taxation, etc. It's radical stuff.

I love how people are calling sensible policies radical now.

Meanwhile Democrats are injecting toddlers with sex hormones.

Reagan couldn't win the nomination in today's GOP.

Dodge.

It definitely wasn't Trump, who openly shamed Islamic losers.


Probably wasn't Hillary, who actually organised and authorised the killing of many Islamic radicals during her time as secretary of state, either.

I don't need to dodge bud. You miss the target every single time.

Its a two fold argument.

The demographics in Reagan's America were different than they are today.

In addition, Reagan gave massive amnesty to illegal criminals in California, essentially giving the state up to Democrats forever.

no?! your cute little comic is wishful thinking, nothing else. it incorrectly implies that culturally conservative viewpoints are based on dellusion and a lack of information instead of facts and logic.
