As far as I can see, the Republican party lacks any ability to govern.
Let’s take a look at their positions on major issues:
- Gun control: Love the gun
- Feeding the poor: Not on the agenda
- Ukraine: Half support, half like Putin
- Homelessness: Not on the agenda
- Abortion: Complete ban, including birth control
- Immigration: Don’t care but like the problem since they can blame it on someone else. No solutions offered.
- Education: Unimportant
- Military: Love it. The entire party is funded by the defense industry
- Voting: Oppose all efforts to let people vote that don’t vote Republican
- Campaign finance: Unrestricted and unregulated
- Healthcare: No plan
- Taxes: Cut them on the rich
- States rights: Opposed to any state right issue that might get Trump in trouble
- Election fairness: Election was stolen even though there is no evidence and they secretly admit it was fair.
- LGBTQ: Nope, against it. Want to make it a crime
- Books: Ban them if they talk about slavery, misogyny, murder, revenge, homosexuality or anything that is uncomfortable.
- Opinion of the Bible: Think the Constitution should be based on it even though it promotes: slavery, misogyny, murder, revenge, homosexuality and many other things that make people uncomfortable.
- The poor: No plan
- International Affairs: One plan – oppose anything the Democrats initiate.
- Climate change: Denialists
- White supremist: Like looking in the mirror but don’t say it out loud.
- January 6th: Normal political discourse.
- Next candidate for president: Trump
- What should be taught in schools: Up to angry parents that don’t believe in science and think school is where the Bible should be taught.
- Mass killings: A good time to send thoughts and prayers and buy more stock in gun manufacturing.
- Inflation: They don’t understand the causes or solutions but they love it because they can blame it on someone else.
- Small government: Yes, with the exception of controlling your sexuality and what you learn in school, who can vote, how you raise your kids, how your taxes are spent and stuff like that.
- Racism: Love it, but can’t say it out loud
- Opinion of voters: Doobs
- Opinion of Free Press: Great so long as that only applies to Tucker Carlson
Time to save the world.
Up, up and away…
