The GOP, they can always be counted on to set back the hands of time. (click title to entry - thank you)

I’m trying to figure out the GOP platform. Their economic policy seems to be the same one they had in 1929, and it didn’t work then, if you remember.

Their political policy seems involved. One presidential candidate wants to bring the judicial branch to heel, using federal marshalls if necessary.

Another wants to reduce the legislative branch to part time and under control. Those can only lead to an imperial executive branch with no checks or balances.

Imagine Republicans promoting Alexander Hamilton’s vision of absolute authority.
