It's no secret that the dems have no real platform. Unless you count keeping people in poverty and victim mode so you can promise them help that never comes.
But what exactly is the repub program these days? It sure as hell isn't smaller government anymore. It's surely is not a balanced budget. Granted it allows for a lot of war, but so do the dems.
So other than "WAll" what is the repub platform these days?

It is HATE, FEAR, BIGOTRY as exemplified by the Trump regime and GOP!

Quite obvious to the casual or neutral observer!

You are neither casual nor neutral. It is not hate, fear or bigotry. That's what you guys are selling -- identity politics. Come into our big tent. You'll like it. We don't know what we stand for, but you'll like it.

I don't think the Republicans have any more of a platform than the Dems. Trump has one but the Republicans don't. I voted for Trump not the Republicans.

Trump is a plus , IMO, only because he is a step away from politics as usual. But not far enough as evidenced by the spending

Neither has a coherent platform. The closest thing Dems have to a platform is supporting illegal immigration, and the Republicans have the trusty pro war platform. I can't think of anything else really.

Yet the real secret is that other than Trump the repubs support illegal immigration ( based upon actions, not words) and the dems support war ( eight straight years of it under Obama) . The one party theory is not too far off.

The Republicans want the same things the Democrats want. They just want it slower. Neither party stands for individual liberty. At this point what difference does it make? Our country has been stolen from us.
