They have nothing in common with the traditional platform of the Republican Party - smaller government, lower taxes, economic/fiscal responsibility, family values, religious values, etc.
Well they are still all in on lower taxes, and traditional religious family values.

No, they aren’t. Tariffs are taxes, and we are all paying much more, and it’s going to get a lot worse.
And where does pedophilia and corruption fit into traditional religious family values?
Okay, you may have me there.

Increased tariffs, aren’t going to compensate for the loss of the other taxes they cut. On balance it’s still lower taxes, just not for the poor.
Pedophilia and corruption are unrelated to family values.
I never mentioned them. Not sure what your getting at with that.

Tariffs are taxes, and tariffs have increased, therefore taxes have increased. Simple as that. No need to try to explain it away with magic math, taxes/ tariffs have increased. Period.
MAGAs are not interested in lower taxes on citizens, just for Sociopathic Oligarchs and Corporations. That does not count as “Lower Taxes” as a policy.
I mentioned them as core MAGA values in my original post. Your post made me reconsider them as MAGA RELIGIOUS family values, since pedophilia and corruption are core values of all religions.
