TL;DR: "I will stay a Republican because I loooooove their terrible policies"

[–] Estiar -2 points 1 year ago

The Author states

No, I remain a Republican because I agree with the party’s stated positions on the free market, school choice, a balanced budget, low taxes, fewer regulations and tariffs, protecting unborn babies, encouraging personal responsibility, maintaining a strong presence in the world, enforcing rule of law, and upholding the Constitution.

Your comment reeks of the very same blatant partisanship that the modern republican party suffers from, or what I call 'team spirit'. The policies he lists seem anti-welfare and democratic.

I criticize the Republican Party as they are anti-democratic and isolationist as well as favouring the prison system over education and rehabilitation. This keeping them on the very welfare system they want to reduce. Some other policies benefit companies too much also such as the school choice.

Had Republicans continued to focus on problem solving instead of obstructionism, perhaps I'd be more inclined to vote for them

But when the hammer swings the other way, I hope that the rest of America will learn the lessons of the 20s: both in the 20th and 21st centuries
