Freedom and the constitution.

Gun rights - so we can kill brown people who stray into white neighborhoods
smaller government - so we can fuck kids
less taxes for the rich
less welfare so the poor don't get uppity
laws for everybody else
legal immigration for Norwegians
borders unless we need former Slovakian prostitutes to marry
pay your own way in life if you are poor but no taxes when your rich daddy dies
America first until we have no allies abroad

The republicans care about destroying public (elected) government and the ‘public sector’ entirely.

The republicans care about blocking and/or disabling the involvement of democrats in government at every level.

The republicans care about being guaranteed citizenship in the New Feudal Order (ie, *private* government) for their efforts.

The republicans care about getting caught and ending up with nothing for their treason.

Because an American political group that stood for Canada first would be pretty stupid, wouldn't it?
But it is a deceptive slogan behind which authoritarian moves were made. Nobody brought up the forced hysterectomies on immigrant refugees.

Once the legal immigration process is guaranteed done within 90 days of initial inquiry by the prospective immigrant, then we have a sensible immigration policy. Currently it can take six years or longer.

Immigration policy sub rosa as a power grab.

That isn't a Republican thing any more than it is a Democrat thing.

True - but not uncomplicated. US military policy has been worked out in elaborate detail over many years between the two parties…which is to say, Democratic involvement in the process was shared - and often driven - by Republicans involved in the process. Once upon a time, we were able to believe that Rebumkins were honest players in these negotiations, not paid agents for private wealth seeking to be the voice of wealth in public policy, so democrats tried to work with them (story told).

Given the complex failure we‘re seeing within GOP and in reaction to paid agents’ pervasive involvement in the planning, development, execution & marketing of, and running interference for - in congress and statehouses - the fraudulent continuation of DFP in the presidency, we may see LESS deference given to GOP policies, proposals, and complaints. I certainly hope we’ve learned enough to know we can’t trust these so-called ‘conservatives’ and their stampede-able base with policy on any level.

LOL, there are paid agents on both sides. You can't trust either one.
The difference is that Democrats don’t spend the money without a revenue plan. That has been a Republican signature move since ‘81 and voodoo economics.
Perhaps, however that is a different notion all together. You are basically saying that Dems had a good plan to fund their massive military spending, but the GOP don't have a good plan. OK, sure. It doesn't change the precept of massive military spending in any way to me. Maybe 20+ years ago, the idea of limited military spending by Dems compared to GOP was real, but not anymore. It's one of the things which has caused me to change my party support from Dem to No-Party affiliation.

It changes it for me. One approach is more honest. It also explains why since Bushdad was unseated, every incoming Democratic President was left holding the big bag of debt and recession left by every R administration.

Your clumsy both sides lie deliberately obfuscates the salient moral and social difference between the two parties. The Rs have become very uniformly immoral. There is a reason they did not have a platform going into the convention. They know better than to reveal they have gone pure authoritarian to a degree matching Germany 80 years ago.

Also, mainly thanks to the corrosive acts of that man and his blackshirts, our overseas rivals are both spending massively on weapons. While I would like that money to be available elsewhere, the threat is one I think of as real in a way it wasn’t even 6 years ago with someone good at the helm.

Now is no time to skimp on military spending. But let’s bring back Eisenhower-era taxes to pay for it all. Tax the rich already!

Gotcha. So the issue of massive military spending isn't a concern to you. Your concern is about how that spending is properly budgeted, paid, and accounted for.
