GOP platform 2020 * 2
    #26897586 - 08/24/20 05:52 PM (3 years, 5 months ago)

Quote:

WHEREAS, The RNC enthusiastically supports President Trump and continues to reject the policy positions of the Obama-Biden Administration,as well as those espoused by the Democratic National Committee today; therefore,be it

RESOLVED, That the Republican Party has and will continue to enthusiastically support the President’s America-first agenda;

RESOLVED, That the 2020 Republican National Convention will adjourn without adopting a new platform until the 2024 Republican National Convention




Basically, "we're against that black guy that was president a decade ago, and we'll do whatever Trump says we should do"

Well, at least it's concise.

I think that is their platform. If we vote by mail, that proves the election was rigged. Trump is just as certain as I am that he's going to lose, so the excuses were written even before the convention.

Yeah, and schools. There will be a lot of schools switching back to remote learning between now and the election. That's going to hurt him too.

Trumpers have set America ablaze and now are marching into the flames.

Let it burn already.

A forest needs forest fires to clear away the old to make way for the new.

Let it burn.

The current worldwide system, Babylon, is destroying the planet.

TRUMP 2020 - not because it will save America but because it won't.



Out of love for the American people, Humanity and the Life of Earth - your governmental system must catastrophically fail so there will be a new, better one.

Problem is, it won't destroy the American system.

We'll root out all of the "internal" enemies. The leftists, the brown people, the union organizers, the people that are in favor of basic regulations. Then we'll either go back to normal and never speak of the "dark times" again, but with fewer rights, or we'll turn to external enemies such as Iran, China, and Europe. Depends on how long King Tweety can be kept alive. Once he fills his last Depends, we'll move on with fewer rights, welcoming the "new democratic era".

The system will be fine. You won't.

Every better system was thought through painstakingly. The founding fathers debated over how to establish America vigorously for a very long time.

We will definitely get a new system one way or another, but I doubt it's going to be, "better" unless people are willing to make larger sacrifices and think even harder and with more nuance than the founding fathers did.

Here is the problem right here. The fear instilled in extremely devout christian peoples minds. It's pretty damn sickening. WHY does the phrase freedom FROM religion NEVER get used or printed much? WHY does the separation of church and state really not exist and people are elected based on their religion of choice, mainly catholic it seems? Why does religion seem to rule peoples decisions when it shouldn't?

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/rnc-speakers-reach-for-god-as-trumps-support-slips-among-white-evangelicals/ar-BB18mAx0?li=BBnb7Kz&ocid=mailsignout
This week's efforts at the RNC to further court white evangelicals will likely have little impact, said Richard Flory, the senior director of research and evaluation at the University of Southern California's Center for Religion and Civic Culture. That's because, Flory explained, those voters are likely to vote for a Republican no matter what.

"It's just not natural for evangelicals to vote for Democrats," Flory said. "In the end, they'll support Trump because he tells them what they want to hear. The fear taps into a deep strain of the American evangelical of the way they understand the world: it's going down and you gotta get saved."

Separation of church and state is not in the Constitution. Thomas only wrote that to/for Danbury Baptists. Looks like evangelicals are abandoning Trump, Ergo why so much at the RNC convention. Kamala Harris quoted bible passage at DNC convention as well. Its a wide net.

“I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”

The granddaughter of late evangelical Christian leader Billy Graham is accusing current church leaders of spitting on his memory with their continued support of President Trump.

"I have spent my entire life in the church, with every big decision guided by my faith. But now, I feel homeless," Jerushah Duford wrote in an op-ed for USA Today. "Like so many others, I feel disoriented as I watch the church I have always served turn their eyes away from everything it teaches. I hear from Christian women on a daily basis who all describe the same thing: a tug at their spirit."

Duford wrote that she often feels that unpleasant "tug" when listening to Trump's rhetoric, citing his recent comments about scraping an Obama-era rule meant to quash segregation and provide low-income housing.

"Jesus said repeatedly to defend the poor and show kindness and compassion to those in need. Our president continues to perpetuate an us-versus-them narrative, yet almost all of our church leaders say nothing," she wrote.

Duford also wrote that the silence from church leaders shows that marginalized communities are "no longer valued by individuals claiming to uphold the values my grandfather taught."

She specifically noted Trump walking through Lafayette Square to St. John's Church in Washington, D.C., after tear gas was used on peaceful protesters in front of the White House.

"He held a Bible, something so sacred to all of us, yet he treated that Bible with a callousness that would offend anyone intimately familiar with the words inside it," Duford wrote. "He believed that action would honor him and only him. However, the church, designed to honor God, said nothing."

She wrote that the church that she was raised in has become a "laughing stock," recalling other female members of her family expressing their own discomfort with their family's support of the Trump administration.

"We represent God before we represented any political party or leader. When we fail to remember this, we are minimizing the role He created for us to fill," she wrote. "Jesus loved women; He served women; He valued women and we need to give ourselves permission to stand up and do the same."

Graham, an ordained Southern Baptist minister from North Carolina, died in 2018 at the age of 99 after having risen to national prominence for his televised sermons and crusades. He served as a counselor to a dozen presidents and was known as "America's Pastor."

His second-youngest son Franklin Graham - Duford's uncle - took over his father's ministries in 2002 and is a loyal supporter of Trump.

Duford told Newsweek that she hasn't spoken to her uncle, who is scheduled to speak at the Republican National Convention on Tuesday, but "his voice was a large reason for my speaking out."

The op-ed comes after she joined the Lincoln Women, the new coalition of Republican women formed by the anti-Trump group The Lincoln Project.

The organization opposes Trump and calls for other women to cast votes for Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden and his running mate, Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.).

"Honored to have met and to stand with powerful women who can no longer ignore the tug in their spirit when they look at our country," she wrote on Twitter.


It seems like the "religious right" and the "silent majority" are the ones who control the voting mostly, but I don't pay that much attention.

Catholics are hardly the predominant religious group elected in the US.

Kennedy was the 1st catholic president and it was a big deal. In fact, he was the 1st and only catholic

Protestant.

Hence WASP: White, Anglo-Saxon Protestant

Evangelicals are a subset of protestant Christians. As are Baptists.

15 years total. And a good chunk of the "founding fathers" would be more accurately known as "founding teenagers" or "founding twentysomethings". Youngest person to sign the declaration of independence was 16.

So, actually, by now the Shroomery should be able to put together a better founding document for a nation. There's at least a dozen people that have more than three brain cells to rub together around here, and it's been around for longer. I'm sure we even have a rulebreaking teenager or three.

Of course, I doubt that some of the richest people in the country are on the Shroomery. That was George Washington's greatest skill. He was the Bezos of the 1770s. Well, maybe not Bezos. He inherited most of his wealth. Bezos only inherited a small fraction of his current wealth. Couple million, 40,000 acres...

Threadworthy. Thats a bold statement.....that we could.

By October trump will be claiming Biden was pushing for schools to open.

The amount of lies told at the RNC tonight was stunning. The Republican Party is in the moral gutter.

this woman - who took a bribe from Trump to shut down an investigation - was railing against Joe Biden’s nepotism. Look at the list of upcoming speakers.
