I know it's hard openly being a Republican on GAF.
Truly I do.
But I would love to hear their opinion on stuff like this.

Literally none of this true. Let me guess, you're a Bernie or buster.Lot of people in this thread pissed about non-voters when the alternative never offered a real solution to their ever-growing problems, from healthcare to underemployment, and were led by a candidate that threw downballot under the bus in a crucial year for downballot races.
The Democrats offered little more than a downward spiral that made what we're facing now an inevitability.

Voter ID can come back, but bringing back a poll tax would require an amendment to repeal the 24th. I don't see that one happening, thankfully.We have spent the majority of the last few years with constant Police caused shooting of minorities. Tell me which minority would be willing to go to the polls once Poll Watching is no longer illegal?
Also, get ready for the incomprehensibly complicated applications for Voter ID.
Poll Tax is another thing that could come back.
Good luck trying to win come midterms.

"Positive governing" is a delusion at this point. We've known this since 2014. The jobs "created" were in retail and service industry positions that don't pay a living wage. Obama's Administration was managed decline for corporate benefit. Trump will bring us rapid decline. At the end of the day, it's still a decline.

Tax breaks.
Tax breaks.
.....? You do know that Lincoln pushed for regulations and government expansion right?Its been a part of the GOP platform since at least 1877.
This is the definition of every republican I have ever met.Tax breaks for the rich people that they aspire to be but have no chance of becoming because they constantly vote against improving their own prospects and opportunities.
This is fucking stupid, anti-science nonsense.
Is there any possible sane reason why Republicans would want to repeal an anti-bribery law? I can't think of one.
Honest question.
When you don't like it it's called bureaucracy.Is there any possible sane reason why Republicans would want to repeal an anti-bribery law? I can't think of one.

Slowly? Give it a year.It feels like we're slowly sinking into dystopia.
I get it. Republicans have seemingly always hated environment, labor and gun laws, but corruption laws? How....how do you possibly justify that?
Upton Sinclair wept.
Hillary said single-payer would never happen. Hillary said free college was impossible and then introduced a half-measure that did nothing to avail the current student debt crisis. Her platform was literally anti-science nonsense completely ignorant of the reality of the people who weren't well-off in this country, a number growing evermore by the day. Her excuse of "I don't want Trump's kids going to college!" was so utterly insane and set that policy up to fail from the start - if the people with the wealth don't see any benefit from it, they'll do everything to shut it down.
She fucked up. Deal with it and learn how to get people to actually vote for you instead of smugly looking down upon them as everything burns like you're somehow a better person.
Blame the morons that voted all these clowns in.
Only liberals can be corrupt, and the Republicans are fine because they all have God on their side.
That's probably their thought process.
I believe the reasoning for this is that a number of other governments are corrupt as hell and in order to essentially get anything done, some of these corporations have to bribe officials to start certain projects. The corporate thought process is that this anti-bribery law put some corporations at a disadvantage compared to other foreign entities when bidding for contracts or whathaveyou.Is there any possible sane reason why Republicans would want to repeal an anti-bribery law?

My understanding is that this is especially prevalent in the Middle East and parts of Africa.

It's kinda crazy how quickly one man can destroy this country
Slowly? I've never seen such a swift and fast sinking into the abyss.It feels like we're slowly sinking into dystopia.
How do other countries seem to keep pure Greed out of their political systems? Why has US failed so horrible at letting those who only want power to benefit themselves from obtaining such power? What do we change? How do we fight without a massive overhaul of the systems and laws or even the Constitution?
Yea this is something we shouldn't support as repealing this would be essentially supporting those corrupt regimes. It's a moral issue but obviously corporations don't care.This is actually true, especially when it comes to competing against Chinese companies. But overall the foreign corrupt businesses act is a positive thing. It's never wrong to stand up for the right thing. Giving money to corrupt governments will only make things worse in those countries.
When is net neutrality being gutted?

let me guess we should condense all the trump threads into one OT so you can troll in peace?Cool, the blame fires are stoking up again. GAF has tuned into a broken record.
Because they're corrupt. They're evil, corrupt assholesI get it. Republicans have seemingly always hated environment, labor and gun laws, but corruption laws? How....how do you possibly justify that?
