Does anyone know what Trump and the Republicans stand for?

[Pappadave1]

‘A video played at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee on Wednesday evening included a clip of a white University of Mississippi student making monkey gestures at a Black woman on campus earlier this year.
[…]
As the white fraternity member approaches the Black woman and begins making the racist gestures, the announcer can be heard saying that these students are “giving us some hope there that not all college students have gone woke.”’

Republicans stand for racism, bigotry, and hate.

Are you REALLY this ignorant or is it an act?

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

Was the clip played, or not, at the convention. Yes or no.

The 1st one.

That was a joke, and everyone knew it. Same with his comment about being a dictator, and the comment about 'bloodbath'. People look foolish taking such seriously.

Oh, of course. Whenever Trump says something you don't like "It's just a joke". Had Biden said the same thing it'd be proof he's not fit to be president.

Religion has taught you well. You can see everything however you feel like seeing it, rather than for what it actually is.

 

[frigidweirdo]

Everything the Democrats are against! It's quite easy....

Seems like Vance is for things Biden is already doing.

Vance "We need to Make America Great Again by putting tariffs on Chinese electrical cars to help our home manufacturing"

Biden "did that already".

Most people know the difference. For example, Trump's 'dictator' remark is a reference to his power of 'executive orders' that he would exercise on day one. There is no mechanism in the Constitution for a dictatorship.

The Republican Party has many perfectly reasonable concerns and many perfectly rational (if debatable) issue positions. I can find some agreement with them on damn near any issue.

The problem is that the rank & file has been so manipulated by mal-information, so consumed by paranoia and rage, so programmed to see the world in binary, hyperbolic, apocalyptic terms, that it turns its issue advocacy into a ******* crazed, ignorant circus.

And that's my main issue with them in a political context. The sociological context is worse.

Perhaps that's because actually solving problems has long ago been dismissed out of hand. Only through national sacrifice will our problems go away and neither electorate has the stomach for that. Any candidate that proposes it would never be elected or reelected.

Exactly.

And this remains the case unless and until we decide to fix a political/electoral "system" that incentivizes and rewards the worst impulses of its participants.

So you aso aren't getting any INFORMATION.

Excruciating! Trump's Endlessly Long, Wildly Dishonest RNC Speech
Donald Trump briefly tried a "new tone" — before pivoting to Hannibal Lecter, "crazy" Pelosi, insurrection lies and more of his greatest hits.

Snip

But less than halfway into his rambling, 92-minute speech accepting the Republican presidential nomination, Trump name-dropped Biden twice as he criticized him as worse than the last 10 worst presidents combined.

“Think of it. The 10 worst. Added them up, they will not have done the damage that Biden has done,” Trump said. “Only going to use the term once. Biden. I’m not going to use the name anymore. Just one time. The damage that he’s done to this country is unthinkable.”

President Trump made an excellent point at the end.

Thanks.

'No Blame?' ABC News finds 54 cases invoking 'Trump' in connection with violence, threats, alleged assaults.

No Blame?' ABC News finds 54 cases invoking 'Trump' in connection with violence, threats, alleged assaults.
President Donald Trump insists he deserves no blame for divisions in America.

"I think my rhetoric brings people together," he said last year, four days after a 21-year-old allegedly posted an anti-immigrant screed online and then allegedly opened fire at a Walmart in El Paso, Texas, killing 22 and injuring dozens of others.

But a nationwide review conducted by ABC News has identified at least 54 criminal cases where Trump was invoked in direct connection with violent acts, threats of violence or allegations of assault.

After a Latino gas station attendant in Gainesville, Florida, was suddenly punched in the head by a white man, the victim could be heard on surveillance camera recounting the attacker’s own words: “He said, ‘This is for Trump.'" Charges were filed but the victim stopped pursuing them.

When police questioned a Washington state man about his threats to kill a local Syrian-born man, the suspect told police he wanted the victim to "get out of my country," adding, "That’s why I like Trump."

Trump claimed he would change the GOP into the MAGA Worker's Party.

He's trash. That's why he was chased out of New Jersey and ridiculed in NYC. He's a failed social climber and now he wants revenge.

You can act stupid. We won't. However, the DOJ and military have plans from before inauguration if Trump tries to act as a dictator.

So it's a non issue.

This is a video about the Republican conference day 3.

DJ Vance said he's going to do.... what Biden's been doing to China.

Some old dude with a ranch on the Mexican border says he's getting loads of immigrants turning up on his ranch, even though the ranch has the border wall alongside it.

Trump was so pro-China for two years. Went anti-China for two years because he thought that's what his supporters wanted, now he's pro-TikTok when most of the US politicians are anti-TikTok.

Biden sent senators and others to Taiwan, has backed Taiwan the whole time. Trump doesn't even talk about Taiwan. He's pro-China when he feels like it, anti-China when he feels like it. Biden put a 100% tariff on Chinese electrical cars.... the sort of thing Vance seems to want....

Well, we know exactly what Biden and the Democrats stand for, which is enough to vote for absolutely anyone else, sight unseen.

In a nutshell...

1) Lower taxes for the rich.
2) Make it harder for the negroes to vote.
3) Ban abortion in all 50 states.
4) Try to legalize silencers...and fail again.
