"Heritage officials have held in-depth discussions with DeSantis' team about restructuring the Justice Department, abolishing the Department of Education, firing thousands of mid-level bureaucrats and disentangling the U.S. from Ukraine, according to those people." They do support many of these planks, John. 1
US Egg Posted August 20, 2023 Posted August 20, 2023 Was a time Dems ran hard with the battle cry “it’s the economy, stupid” With the economy floundering under Biden, they’ve about faced and act as if the economy is now a non factor. Guess they figure their minions are too stupid to think otherwise now. 2

The title of the thread is "What are the planks of the right-wing platform?" and I listed what I believe they are. I fail to see the connection between limited government and books that are inappropriate in schools. Do you believe that all books should be allowed in all schools, or do you believe that the government should not be involved in making these decisions? 1

As a Republican, you wouldn’t see that because your people are ***** blind And all you have to do is see what’s happening in recent elections to know that the Republicans are in fact in a funk they can’t get away from supporting Maga without getting primary and maga Republicans can’t get elected You are supporting a four time indicted impeached ex president who is probably going to win the Republican primary, but is unelectable as a presiden The republican party absolutely is in a funk 1

Also, insults, swearing or using "your people" makes for a poor argument unless you are trying to come across as "Archie Bunker". Finally, the title of the thread is regarding the "planks of the right wing's platform". The discussion has nothing to do with Maga Republicans or an ex-president, I hope you can grasp that. I'll respond to your reply even though it has nothing to do with the thread title. If in a funk is controlling 26 governorships, 28 state legislatures, the House of Representatives and the Supreme Court then perhaps you don't understand the definition of funk? Also, you may have noticed the hundreds of thousands of Americans moving from blue states to red states. I suspect you believe all these people are in a funk as well. Conversely Chicago, Portland, SF, LA, NYC are not in a funk according to you? Don't be so ignorant as to assume who I am supporting for president or any office as I have supported candidates of both parties. In the presidential race there are primaries for both candidates which along with age and legal issues could see any one of a number of people running in the general election in place of the current contenders. It is obtuse to assume who anyone will support in the general election prior to first primary or any debates. 1 1

But the point still stands. Individuals with their own money making their own choices on what to spend on works way better than stimulating the fortune 500 and calling it infrastructure or inflation reduction bills. Individuals are free to make their own choices. bad ones get negative results. good ones can have good results. Those who would give up essential liberty, to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety 1
