Although the Republican Party often proudly refers to itself as the Lincoln Party, a somewhat objective look at that party, today, appears, at best, I might add, with Lincoln’s philosophies and priorities. , as possible! Until recently, he defended conservative policies, especially in terms of economic approaches, while, still, he defended the protection of all those American freedoms and guarantees protected by our Constitution. However, in the last few years, it has seemed to transform itself, in the last four years, especially, simply, the Trump Party! How else can we explain the emphasis on protecting that individual, rather than truly upholding the principles? With that in mind, this article will briefly attempt to consider, examine, review and discuss, 6 possibilities, for this anti-American behavior, and potentially dangerous actions, etc.
1. Conservative principles / hypocrisy: It’s one thing to be conservative and approach our economy and course of action from that perspective. However, it cannot be aligned, creating a huge deficit, by implementing / passing the 2017 Tax Reform, which, while claimed, was for the middle class, generated huge windfalls for the largest corporations and most Americans! rich! When these same people, now that Biden is president, get involved – themselves, in targeting the deficit, when so many Americans are, in need, because of the horrible pandemic, we are witnessing partisan politics, in its worst, rather than disciplined, policies, etc!
2. Party political agenda: Although we have always experienced partisan politics, the degree of polarization in recent years is even more divisive and potentially destructive than ever.
3. Own interest: How can you continue to accept and support the Big lie, saying 2016 was stolen from Trump? After a record number of recounts, reviews, court hearings, etc., the 2016 presidential election was deemed, perhaps, the fairest election in history. Or, actually, they believe it, which would make them delusional (at best), or, they feel, for whatever reason, that it serves their own interests, articulate, that statement / position!
Four. Fear: If the reasoning is based on fear, what exactly are they afraid of and why? Do they fear Trump, does he have something on them, or do they fear the potentially radical behavior of some of his main supporters? The fact, this Party, has come up, to turn on Senator Romney and Representative Chaney, because they haven’t toed – the extremist – line, should be concerning!
5. He sold his soul: Is it, simply, that many have sold their soul, putting the interest of the nation, far below what they perceive, is it their personal / political agenda, and / or their own interest, they sold their soul and / or, ¿ any other reason?
6. Trumpism: Trumpism It may be, based on appealing, to fears, prejudices and prejudices, that, protecting, all our constitutional guarantees! Why do so many seem blind to these possible ramifications, etc.?
Why has Lincoln’s Party apparently become little more than Trump’s Party? The two men seem to have very little in common!
