The three Cs of the GOP. We can't pretend that these are not the controlling interests of the GOP, now (and have been for some time). It applies to all three branches.
Yes, the Trump Regime is the epitome of the standard, but it is now beyond argument that the GOP is fully on board with this, and he is the symptom, not the cause.
I began this thread in "political platforms" because that is, in fact, the GOP position. It became manifest in the 2020 RNC Convention, but it has controlled GOP politics for at least 45 years. Ronald Reagan ran on it (but sugar coated it), Newt Gingrich promoted it.
I am open to opposing arguments, but I am quite aware they are nonexistent.
But, beware, I have receipts.
