Discussion of/and Topics related to the Republican Party (NOTE: ANY AND ALL LINKS POINTING TO FAR-RIGHT WEBSITES/CONTENT CREATORS IS BANNED AND CAN/WILL LEAD TO A BAN FROM THE COMMUNITY.).

RULES:

1: The Goldwater Rule due to the rise of Nutjob Incels in the GOP, any and all content that is glorifying any kind of White Supremacist along with spreading lies from these people leads to an automatic ban. The reason for it being called the Goldwater Rule is that he sort of caused this to happen.
2: The Fuentes Rule This is more or less a Rule 1.1, but also contains more specific information about far-right content here. First of all, if it is used for a quote then that is mostly okay unless there is Racism in the quote. But otherwise it is banned.
3: The Trump Rule You can not glorify Trump here. He was not the second coming of Christ.

More rules are Coming Soon (when needed)

I'm not a Republican anymore. My political beliefs haven't changed that much, but the party did a lot.

I'm for small government. And I'm personally socially conservative but don't think the government should be involved in mandating morality except for when it involves harm to others (murder, theft, fraud, etc).

Policy wise, I think the GOP should be more about actual small government than just being about 10-20 years behind leftist policies (see social security or health care mandates)

Here's my question though. Can the GOP be saved? Can it be restored to actual fiscally conservative values?

I think it's clear that all politicians seek to expand the power of the government. All parties are beyond restoration.

I started growing potatoes in my backyard. Any tips to stop my dog from digging them up repeatedly?

Personally I'm just try to relax and ride things out. I'll be chillin and grillin

Yeah. I used to be way into politics and loved debating. But not so much for the last 5-6 years. I'm just focusing my attention on other things that I think are more worth my time and efforts.
