It seems like all they are about, is anyone who still supports Trump and said the election was rigged. But how is their platform different from the regular GOP?

(913 posts)Trump is splitting them into two. The oligarchic leadership spent the last 40 years trying to claim that the racists didn't exist. Murdoch has spent billions trying to put a respectable face on the racist, xenophobic masses.
Trump ripped that mask right off. Everyone can see the racists now, and many of the GOP oligarchs, who realize this is bad for their business, are trying to get away.
We should do everything we can to drive a wedge between these two forces in their party.

2) Absolute control of every uterus.
3) Socialism for the rich.
4) Brutal, free market capitalism for everyone else.
Thats all they want. Note that traditional Republicans only really want #3 and #4. They PRETEND to want #1 and #2 to get votes.

(2,807 posts)It's my opinion that Trumpism is not a political movement as much as it is a group of bullies. What they want is to feel empowered. There isn't any party platform, or policies other than severe racism.
They ideally want to be feared so their all about ego.
