The Twelve Points of The New GOP Strategy for America

by

JV Wallace

 Since the presidential campaign in 2016, I have become very concerned about the degeneration of a once respected political party into something radical. It has become rife with political extremism, ignorance and a crippling absence of social conscience. By using what the new Republicans have said, written and acted-out, on the record, I have come to the following collection of twelve points that I feel best represents their expressed strategy for the future of the USA.

1. Radicalize nationalistic behavior among the intellectually vulnerable.

Encourage simple, patriotic-sounding mottoes, slogans, symbols and other paraphernalia. Display and wear flags everywhere, with party slogans on clothing and in public displays.

2. Continue to create enemies/scapegoats as a unifying cause.

Fabricate threats and foes: Racial, ethnic or religious minorities, liberals, communists, socialists, immigrants, terrorists, etc.

3. Maintain traditional male domination of government.

Enforce traditional gender roles rigidly. Enact legislation to criminalize abortion, LGBTQ+ lifestyles, and books that do not conform to party guidelines. Promote the United States as a white, Christian-based government.

4. Declare freedom of the press the “Enemy of The Party”.

5. Inflate national security threats to generate apprehension.

Fear is a useful motivational tool to gain support. Grow the military while screening severely wounded veterans from public view.

6. Protect corporate power and the 1%, while suppressing labor power.

7. De-value education and the arts.

Suppress higher education, academia, and science. De-fund public education.

8. Direct public focus to crime and punishment.

Overlook the rule of law and forgo civil liberties when needed in the name of patriotism.

9. Appoint to the judiciary, those who will put loyalty above legality.

Use governmental power and authority to protect accomplices from accountability.

10. Dismantle the Democratic process.

Use elected conspirators to generate distrust of Democracy at the local level. Manipulate elections by smear campaigns and conspiracy propaganda against opposing candidates by exploiting public apathy. Enact legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries.

11. Discredit human rights and social conscience.

Human rights and social programs will be ignored in cases of need. Confiscate Social Security savings to benefit the party.

12. Place the Constitution on “indefinite hold”.

Imprison those who publicly protest.
