    He’s not talking about the label he’s asking a very good, specific question:

    Name a policy proposal or decision made by the GOP as it stands since 2016 that has been aimed at helping anyone, improving anything, or otherwise taking steps to accomplish anything outside of stonewalling democrats and stripping rights away from conservatives “out groups”, and consolidating power/attacking election rights.

    I will even open this up to include state level legislation.

    Go ahead.

      I suppose that :
      In their point of view, the economical success is thanks to them.
      Their conservative take on what they perceive as excessive “progressivism” is saving America from making a mistake.
      Their opposition to censorship and the right to bear guns.
      They want to fight crimes, and in their view criminals wouldn’t exist because they would be too afraid of being caught.
      They believe that taxation is a theft, or at least excessive, and that they’re protecting the u.s.a. from an oppressive government. That without them people would have an easy life so wouldn’t work hard(, true to an extent, poor workers exist though, and childs of wealthy families have more interesting jobs).
      They love freedom.

      I.d.k., i don’t know them enough to defend them, including for the (far-)right of my own country, it’s a bit of a shame really, once you disagree with them their speeches aren’t very informative, that’s why i kinda regret not to have them to speak with.

      I’m not a Republican, so I don’t really follow what they’re doing. I try to focus specifically on right to repair and media censorship because maintaining a normal life at the same time as keeping up with people who are dedicated to all politics isn’t practical.

      I’m not defending them. I’m attacking tribalism itself. The labels are meant to overwhelm and make people take sides. I cannot sit here and spend so much time addressing them and that’s a part of my issue with all this.
