America’s Democratic Party is beyond redemption, and Americans are recognizing this. Can Republicans offer a serious alternative?

America’s Democratic Party is beyond redemption, and Americans are recognizing this. Can Republicans offer a serious alternative? By Edward Ring.

If you want to reduce crime, bring back affordable energy, get America’s southern border under control, and once again teach children academic fundamentals in the public schools instead of brainwashing them with politicized garbage, you might support Republicans merely because they aren’t Democrats.

This isn’t a bad argument, but it isn’t enough to turn the tide.

After all, Democrats make a similar argument. If you hate racism, sexism, homophobia, xenophobia, want to save the planet from climate change, and save America from fascists, you will vote for Democrats because they aren’t Republicans.

It doesn’t matter that the argument against Democrats has substance, and the argument against Republicans does not. Almost every major legacy and online media property is shilling for the Democratic Party, which means their perception is the reality for millions of Americans.

As a result, if all Republicans have got to offer voters is “we aren’t them,” Democrats will finish turning America into California in short order….

More Americans are realizing what a radical disaster the lawyer-filled Democratic Party has become. Yesterday a presidential candidate at the last election abandoned ship:

What the Republicans need to do:

Republicans need to make radical assertions if they want to appeal to serious conservatives, as well as attract independents. That shouldn’t be difficult. Telling the truth in America today is a radical act. …

With that in mind, it’s time for Republican candidates to quit hedging on the big issues. Here are some soundbites that ought to be coming out of the mouths of every GOP candidate in America:

  • People who commit crimes are criminals, not misunderstood victims. …
  • We will fire district attorneys who don’t prosecute criminal acts. …
  • We are not in a “climate crisis.” …
  • Clean fossil fuel and nuclear power are not going to destroy the earth. …
  • Homeless people cannot take over our cities. …
  • We will overcome the environmentalist assault on single family homes. …
  • We’re going to stop exporting jobs. …
  • We’re going to stop importing welfare recipients. …
  • We will pursue antitrust enforcement in any industry wherever oligopolies have formed. …
  • We will withhold Section 230 protection from any online communications platform that censors content protected by the First Amendment.
  • International corporatism and international communism are two sides of the same coin. …
  • We will win the 21st century space race.
  • We will reassert and protect private property rights and free enterprise.
  • Transgender treatment on any minor is an atrocity. …
  • We support, without apologies, a federal ban on late term abortions.
  • We support private schools and charter schools, and we will break the teachers union monopoly on public education.
  • Our public schools are going to teach children to be proud of their country.
  • American school children will learn that if they are honest and work hard they can look forward to a bright future, no matter who they are.
  • America is the least racist, least sexist society in the history of the world.

Might work. Sounds like a fairly middle-of-the road program from the period when the USA was successful and a great place, before the 1990s. This was before the great re-alignment occurred, in which the Democrats turned away championing workers (too racist, sexist, deplorable, etc) to becoming the party of the bureaucrats and the lawyers, working in the interests of their uber-rich donors.

Oddly enough, it now falls on the non-RINO Republicans to represent more than half of society, those in the middle and lower classes but not on welfare. Traditional values with common economic interests, modern but not post-modern, enlightened but not woke.
