It is difficult to accurately judge where Republican policies stand because of the racism hoax. I have never seen a nation so focused on race. It wasn't like this before Obama's Presidency. I tip my hat to Democrats for playing this cheat card but eventually it won't have the same effect, backfiring. This is the land of opportunity, there is no discrimination based on gender, race or religion. Wealth - yes.
As for policies. I look at my California ballot and took a peak at 2016 to remember. It is majority just raising taxes. Overwhelmingly on business. Can Democrats accomplish anything without raising taxes? The message has always been attractive to the young and dreamers. Free stuff, climate saved and no more racism. And the evil rich white people pay for it all, right? How did Democrats convince supporters whom consider the system broken, to agree to expand said system?
Agreed on turning the page on the old Republican party. Forget those warmongers. Trump ultimately might have failed by being too much about big business. Still screw Hollywood and all the progressive baggage. Focus should be on working class. Stay with the populism Trump seemed to connect with.
Republicans should remain the working class and Democrats can try their luck again as the victimhood party of free stuff. Seems Americans need to be reminded what is like to pay more for stuff you didn't vote for.
