This is not opinion or leftist. It’s news about fighting in the party, which is factual, recent, and on-topic.

Removal of this post is admitting that this sub is only about being a safe space for conservatives to circle-jerk while ignoring reality.

I encourage a discussion about the recent conflicts inside the party, how that might impact the party moving forward, and what can be done to prevent this divide.

        What are the major Republican talking points? Trans? Drag? It’s like you’re not being told what the GQP is actually.

        Also, that article is labeled opinion, and those aren’t facts.

          Small government. Lower taxes. Protection of constitutional rights. Freedom of association.

          Not sure what drag. Trans means. Some context would be useful.

            Well, unless you’re extremely wealthy, the Republican Party has not lowered taxes for the middle class in the past 20 years or so. Obviously, there is a lot to consider like tax credits, etc. But that blanket statement of “Republicans lower taxes “is not entirely accurate.

              Trump raised my taxes. I’m solid middle class 300-500k a year on average. I got a nice tad bump due to the salt changes. Wealth has little to do with taxes. Taxes are based in income which is not the same as wealth

                  It is the income range of most people I know. I am nothing overly unique in what I make.
