I had to double check to see if this was from the Borowitz Report.


And perhaps most remarkably of all, the party has announced it will forego a platform altogether. In lieu of a document attempting to define the party’s beliefs and priorities, the RNC simply states that it agrees with everything Trump has done and will do:


The official excuse is that the coronavirus has made it impossible for the party to get together and write a platform: “The Republican National Committee (RNC) has significantly scaled back the size and scope of the 2020 Republican National Convention in Charlotte due to strict restrictions on gatherings and meetings, and out of concern for the safety of convention attendees and our hosts.” Yet somehow the Democrats managed to come up with a platform without killing anybody.

What’s most remarkable about the personality-cult character of the Republican Party is that its leader is deeply unpopular with the public. Previous conventions have convened to support Republican incumbents who were genuinely respected by the public (Ronald Reagan, Dwight Eisenhower) without prostrating themselves like this. Why would the party, and its candidates running for office at every level, define themselves so thoroughly with a president who has never even briefly held the support of half the country?

Oh yeah, they added riot support and the willingness to destroy the economy if it saves one life.
I don't recall it being the Democrats to enact more flow-upward economics in response to the pandemic.

The 0.1% must save EVERY dollar. And then take more.

Oh yeah and ALL LIVES MATTER.

These people are fvcking insane, all of them.

This is all twisted hero worship. They talk about trump like he’s some kind of warrior hero. It’s really strange.
