Question? What Policies Are Farther Right Of Where GOP Is Right Now.

You frequently here the meme that so and so GOPPER is not far right enough. We know what policies they support that are very far right already. So what policies are farther right then we are right now.

Does it mean that theocracy if farther right? Deportation of all nonbelievers? Making being gay a felony?

What policies represent "farther" right than where the GOP is right now? What would the country look like farther right?

Witness what's happening in Kansas.

I imagine the rest of the social safety net would also be on the chopping block.

But mostly, the things you listed are the things they've clearly been after for some time.

And if they'll ban talking about climate change (which has been done in a couple of situations) they'll probably ban blue because it represent Democratic wins on electoral maps.

Come to Oklahoma, don't forget to hang a cross around your lily white neck and wear a flag on your lapel if you expect to find a job.
