So What IS The Republic Party's Vision Of America?

[SoFlaJet]

OK, we know they have been de-funding all state jobs like police, firefighters, and teachers. They are also working hard at disparaging the Postal workers to try and get rid of the US mail. So what would their dream world look like?

No cops: does that mean they all will get the chance to use their guns like George Zimmerman and build a vigilante force and walk around like it's some lawless Hollywood depiction of a no-sheriff town, where people can just pull guns on each other and have 10 paces and turn and fire scenarios?

Now when the loser gets shot there won't be any ambulances to come and get them because the firefighters have been doing double duty as paramedics. So basically the person who is shot has to be taken to some doctor or die in a waiting room since the hospitals will all either be for profits and with no publicly funded ERs-they won't be anywhere to take them anyway under GOP-rule.

You have to figure the crime rate will soar with no more public schools too. In my neighborhood here there are so many break-ins and a lot of them are being done by teenagers. So no schools and no cops will mean a lot of crime. Bad news for the GOPers though, those who will actually HAVE something worth stealing, THEY'RE going to be the looters and break-in crews main targets.

What else do you guys see happening in their RW dream world?

1. A huge gated community ,where we're in

and they're out , and never the twain shall meet.

5. My wife and I were talking this morning

about how down here in south Florida in some of the gated communities they even have their own shopping centers with grocery stores, restaurants and gas stations. That's all well and fine but eventually they will have to leave the gated community and venture out into the real world when there are zombies who will car jack you and eat your face. Anybody who is NOT a millionaire and votes for ANY republic party person is an absolute idiot who will be voting against their own best interests-of course that all won't matter to them, as long as they get rid of the black Kenyan occupying 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue-nothing else matters to them only their blind hatred for the man.

8. Their blinding ,binding Agenda

his failure.

[mentalsolstice]

20. In theory such communities are desirable

My husband, a lifelong Dem., is an urban planner. It is desirable to plan communities that are pedetrian friendly, and designed around a town center with shopping and recreation. However, the Planning Assoc, doesn't envision gates, and they want the housing options to be mixed income and affordable. Their reasoning is it has environmental, health and social advantages. Less use of your car, more walking and exercise, and more socializing amongst fellow residents. Unfortunately, they haven't convinced developers to do such except for wealthy residents.

21. Not the community they theorize.

Afford-ability isn't a facet of exclusion , and that's what They seek. Though the concept you've explained is great idea for the rest of us that Like people , the environment, and different cultures.

2. They want a theocratic dystopia for the majority of Americans. What the

dirt poor republicans can't comprehend, is they're going to be part of that theocratic dystopia and are being used as tools.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

3. Feudalism, basically.

The 1% will live in gated communities, just like medieval nobility lived in their manor houses and castles. The rest of us peed-on peons will exist at their sufferance. We will clean their castles, work their farms, man their armies; in return they will pay us just enough to survive.

Until the revolution.

[RKP5637]

4. And that is why we see DHS creating more and more surveillance and

militarization of the local police. None of us are invited to the big party in the manor houses and castles. The 1% know soon they will have to enable more and more physical armed force against the masses to keep them suppressed and under control. And the FEMA camps I think more and more are a reality than a conspiracy theory.

[Warpy]

13. The 1% will live as they do now, on isolated estates

traveling from one to the other following climate and social season. Gated "communities" are for the hired help whose main job will be to keep the rest of us down and desperate.

The ultra rich already have a completely separate infrastructure of helicopters, private air fields, VIP wings in hospitals, and shopping that comes to them. Most people don't know this stuff exists and that's just fine with them. They wish to be invisible except to each other.

As things worsen, they will withdraw completely from the country around them, leaving everybody else to being caught in the middle between the few police and crime gangs. The police, of course, will be making sure none of us ever approaches the hidden infrastructure.

This is what they want. This is what they're working toward.

[SoFlaJet]

14. Yea but that's the thing Warpy

If they keep de-funding the police like they've been doing, what's to keep the unwashed hordes out of their backyards-not to mention the oncoming zombie apocalypse? They are biting off their noses...um, nevermind...

[Warpy]

15. They'll always be able to hire enough desperate thugs

to keep the riffraff off the grounds.

[DenverDad]

6. Privatization of EVERYTHING!

Corporate ownership of air, water, education. . .! Deregulation of financial institutions and no environmental regulations.

[SoFlaJet]

7. and don't forget

LOW LOW LOW taxes for the people who need it least while the rest of us pay for them

[orpupilofnature57]

10. And ,Cut Cut Cut Education , the EPA , Medicare and

that will take care of the rest of us.

[HooptieWagon]

9. A nation of 99% indentured servents.

[SoFlaJet]

11. That would have to mean

that 49% of the country are idiots-up from the 26% that loved Bush and Cheney regardless of what horrible shit they would pull in the last decade.

[HooptieWagon]

12. Well, by definition half the population IS below average intelligence.

[jmowreader]

16. I think we all know...

Literature will show you the way...

Worker protection like in The Jungle
Women's affairs like in The Handmaid's Tale
And freedom of information like in Fahrenheit 451

Feudalism is the least of what they plan.

[Madison Blue]

17. The GOP's Vision?

Gone with the Wind

[dinopipie]

18. A Nightmare world were being under Nazi Rule would be a better choice.

Those that are paying attention are already preparing for RW Gone Wild.

[CBHagman]

19. The one before both Roosevelts.

Lowest possible taxes for the rich, fewer regulations, less of a safety net (The promotion of private charity over a formal safety net has been a GOP staple for years).

They also have a disturbing obsession with military spending in that it seems more knee-jerk response than actual smart, targeted, strategic spending. In short, Eisenhower's warning about the military industrial complex appears to have fallen on deaf ears.

22. Pottersville.

24. In a Nutshell !!!!!!

[Rosa Luxemburg]

23. One word = privatization

It used to be Margaret Thatcher's vision too it is common across the right wing parties in the world. some are more severe than others.
