Platinum Contributing Member Highmark Posted November 3, 2022 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted November 3, 2022 (edited) 14 minutes ago, Crnr2Crnr said: debatable when's the last time there were Republicans supporting Democrats during an election. Not really debatable when you look at the issues. Abortion: GOP hasn't changed left has went from safe, legal and rare to up till birth (and even after) no matter the reason and the fed govt will pay for it. LGBTQ issues: GOP hasn't changed if anything swung a bit to the center left has went hard left. Both Clinton and Obama were originally in favor of the defensive marriage act and that's just the tip of the iceberg on this issue. Crime: Clinton signed the 94 crime bill now the left screams defund the police, cashless bail and letting violent people out of prison. GOP hasn't changed on crime. Taxes: Clinton cut CG taxes and Obama raised income taxes "mildly." If it was up to the current democrats the TMR would be 90%. GOP unchanged. Keep money in the hands of the people. Education: Democraps really going hard after free college now. GOP same stance on ed spending. Environment: Democraps have went batshit on this and wanted to spend trillions on green new deal. GOP if anything has become way more accepting of things such as EV's and fossil fuel use. Foreign Policy: Democraps are becoming the neocon's of the party from the 60's. GOP were always war mongers. Elections: I can show you video after video of the left saying how dangerous some forms of voting are. Now anything goes. Freedoms: Left went from question everything govt does to question nothing and like it. The left even wants to regulate speech now. GOP still supports a weakened 4th but is much stronger on the 1st and 2nd than the left. This hasn't changed over time.

It's honestly a crap shoot. Both parties are to blame for bad candidates that represent them. Trump lost the election. He would've lost no matter who the Dems had. I think even Hillary would've beat him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
