What is the Republican platform?

They also support the surpression of calling for the death of them n*ggars like the dems used to call for. 

You mean the Dixiecrats used to before they  migrated to the Republican Party decades ago,  or like the anti-Obama protesters lynching Obama in effigy, or the White nationalists, KKK and neo-nazis who openly support amd endorse Trump?

 

Also I don’t recall any Republican ever calling for the “suppression” of any hate speech, their standard response has been to decry it as (maybe) reprehensible but then say nobody is forcing you to listen to it and amd speech should not be silenced.   Unless that speech is directed at Trump and/or Republicans, Israeli government policies of any kind, and possibly the bible…. then they call for suppression

Which is what happens when you stand in the way of American greatness. 

Substitute the word “American” for “German” or “Italian” and that’s exactly what the fascists said in Europe around 100 years ago. If you really want to stop being called fascist you should stop talking like one.

It's OK. We've already replaced it with a banana republic.

Technically. But if doing so caused a stampede and people got hurt or died you would be likely be charged with some  offence if you didn’t actually believe there was a fire. 

How exactly will Republicans enforce that plank of their platform without actually forming a dictatorship?

If people don't see a fire or smell any smoke there is zero chance of a stampede. They will just decide you are yet another crazy person like they see every day.

That's what fascists said and nothing was wrong with it.

The thing I always found funny about that meme about it not being legal to yell fire in a crowded theater is that actually it is legal, lol

They use that basically as a way to shut down anything they don't like.

Your and Trump's buddy and VP candidate Vance called Trump "America's Hitler." Duh

WE all know Trump's HISTORY of RACISM. Do you?

So that means Biden is a racist, remember when Kamala ,his VP, called him a racist?

We all know Biden's HIstory of racism. Do You?

I doubt you found it funny or understood it.  But yes - as i noted while it's good for illustrating the point but it's utterly incorrect to say it's actually illegal just to shout fire. Thanks for playing along at home   

It would be illegal if you knew there was no fire tho, and did it to create mayhem. Later courts ruled that the state CAN limit or punish speech if it is intended to 'incite criminal activity or induce lawlessness'.  So it MAY be illegal to do so - depending on why you do it.  It would absolutely be illegal to shout fire in a crowded theatre if you intended to cause a stampede and get people killed knowing there was no fire.

Essentially.  If you intentionally created a stampede that a reasonable person should have known might lead to injury then its' a crime and that kind of speech can absolutely be controlled by the gov't without violation of the right to free speech.

You say the craziest things. Today's Republican party could not be any more top-down. The litmus test for viability is loyalty to Trump--agreeing with whatever crazy shit he says next. People are not allowed to criticize him or oppose him. They must either bend the knee and kiss the ring or they are exiled and punished. If someone (even a VPOTUS, for example) doesn't go along with Trump's crooked, schemes they are risking not just their political future, but even their lives.

Who lied to the entire world about Brandon's mental state? Who lied about the open border? Who lied about gender? Who lied about Russia and Trump? Who lied about George Floyd and BLM? Who lied about the non-existent climate crisis?

Only a true cult can look reality in the face and dispute it.

Welcome...to the Libbie cult.

Opposing mandated school bussing at the Federal level is is not racist.

Harris was campaigning against Biden at that time. Many campaigners against Trump have said MUCH WORSE about HIM.

Vance was NOT campaigning against Trump when he called Trump "America's Hitler." False equivalence, DUH.

It's funny, you know, if it helps spread lawlessness when you tell people the truth about their situation and how the country works.

@WestCanMan, is that you? Sorry, but a Gish gallop of lies about unrelated subjects still doesn't add up to an argument.

Another opposite-of-reality joke. 

As evidenced by the Democrats current in-fighting over replacing Biden, the party is not under the cult leadership of anyone much less Pelosi and Schumer of all people 

Reality has also shown that the GOP is the cult of Trump and TrUMP alone, with RNC in Milwaukee being widely described as a “ring-kissing contest” of speaker after speaker adulating Trump as humanity’s lone saviour and benevolent god   HE ALONE CAN SAVE US.  Not his team, not his people, ONLY HIM    The RNC is also described as “ritual humiliation” for all those Republicans who dared to challenge him like Haley and DeSantis, who each were required to appear on stage to repent their sins and express their newfound undying loyalty to Trump while the crowd booed and jeered  All you need to do is look at this humiliation display and how Republicans have canceled and attacked all Republicans who have refused to bend the knee to Trump (Liz Cheney, Mitt Romney, Pence etc etc) to know that the claim that the GOP is a free speech party that welcomes diversity of thought is a hilarious joke  Mile Pence did not attend RNC out of fear for his personal safety  

The GOP has no coherent platform because it is the cult of Trump and has no independent beliefs or consciousness except to worship Trump and support whatever he decides to do or not do, say or not say “we have no idea what he might say or do but whatever it is we unconditionally support it because we worship him”.  That was essentially what they publicly declared in 2020 when they didn’t release a platform.  In 2024 I believe they simply photocopied the Trump campaign platform and declared it their own, after Lara Trump took over leadership of the GOP and earlier this year declared that ”every single penny” of RNC funds should go to Trump.  
 

 To whit:  those espousing the exact same political and economic views as Trump supporters are shunned and abused if they don’t support Trump as the ideal party leader  while while those with un-conservative views who publicly support Trump are welcomed and celebrated. For example Liz Cheney, a traditional conservative whose congressional voting record was actually highly consistent with the Trump White House and GOP colleagues, and who had one of the highest ratings from conservative groups and lobbyists is a HATED ONE solely because she opposed Trump’s 2020 election lies. Meanwhile those with un-conservative views who support Trump are welcomed with open arms, e.g, Elise Stefanik, a long-time moderate Republican whom Conservatives had long decried her as a “New York liberal,” whose congressional voting record was least consistent with the Trump White House and GOP colleagues, who had one the worst ratings from conservative groups and lobbyists, but always publicly praised and supported Trump including his 2020 election lies  She is welcomed with open arms and was even considered to be a potential Trump VP pick   

The Republican Party has become the “choose your own reality” party with Trump as the undisputed god.  You can believe the nobody has done more to stop Putin or COVID than Trump, or you can believe that Trump is the only one to know COVID was a hoax and Putin is the good guy.  You can believe Trump conceded the 2020 election with dignity and denounced the “heinous attack” on Jan 6 or you can believe he continues to fight the stolen election and the J6 attackers we’re peaceful visitors on a family-friendly self-guided tour and are political prisoners. As long as you unconditionally worship Trump your perception of reality doesn’t matter. In fact, Trump and his closest supporters intentionally create conflicting perceptions of reality as he has personally and deliberately said all of these contradictory claims, knowing his followers will cherry-pick, exaggerate and fabricate whatever “facts” they need to in order to believe their beliefs align with their infallible Messiah.  
 

In the cult of GOP, unconditional worship of the messiah and unconstitutional hatred of all those who refuse to do the same is  all that matters. No policy platform or shared perception of reality is required for that. 

Obama and the Muslim Brotherhood are who's calling the shots along with the Davos weirdos. 

[sharkman]

Hey, did Biden have a platform in ‘20?  I mean besides Trump is evil.  Trump doesn’t need one for 2024 if you ask me.  Sleepy Joe has been such a disaster that Trump could literally do the whole campaign from his basement and win.   

The only platform he needs is, do you really want 4 more years of dementia?  It’s going to be a landslide, which is why Joe is getting replaced.  PBS can pound sand since they’ve given us 4 years of lies and propaganda about Joe and his administration.

And Splinter explodes from under the bed cowering over the Red Menace into dozens of clones repeating lies to defend their Messiah, saved by Divine Intervention...

Freedom (don't mention by taking it away from others)

And mentioning how it was southern Dems who oppressed blacks 150 f*cking years ago. Get your ass out on the street and ask the first black person when America was 'greater' that it is now. Pre 1865? Jim crow era? Fight for your country then go home to wear your medals at the back of the bus? Dinner at the Woolworth's counter? Marching, churches burning, siccing dogs on children days? The ghetto days while Reagan supported Apartheid?
Go on - ask someone.

And don't forget

There's a special place in Hell for those so-called Christians who:
promote as their leader one who has committed every sin and broken every Commandment,
who openly calls almost entirely Christian migrants vermin,
and claim to do so in His name.

Sure, but none of those people made their country great. Hitler didn’t run for office saying “vote for our party, I’ll make myself dictator, round up millions of people for imprisonment or extermination and start a world war that will call tens of millions.” He simply promised to restore Germany’s lost economic and military greatness, and let people read between the lines (or not) regarding his intent to end democracy, given their many open criticisms of democracy that stopped short of  explicitly calling for its end.  Again letting supporters choose their own reality about what they wanted to believe.
