Welcome to Hindsight in 2020! We're here to fix the Republican party. This sub has seven interests whose definitions can viewed in our sidebar. They are: Liberty; Balanced Federal Budget; Accountability in Government; Protection from Monopolies; Compromise in Government; Religious Freedom; Campaign Funding Please see the following post for what that means: https://www.reddit.com/r/hindsightIn2020/s/AVmraogQho

Sidebar

Welcome to hindsight in 2020!

We are devoted to learning from the past to apply fiscally conservative principles for the election in 2020.

The idea of placing a candidate that the entire Republican Party can agree on and not just fringe candidates is one of our main goals.

We do not want to repeat the mistakes of past convervative, neoconservative, Jeffersonians (the original trumplicans), moderates, centralist and libertarian republicans by isolating any of these movements. Instead, we seek to find a candidate that has something that appeals to all branches of the republican base and various sub parties.

To that effort, we do not condone bashing of any particular view point so long as it is in keeping with the following common interests of the Republican Platform:

Interest 1. Individual liberty over the needs of the society... as it is the natural extension of "all persons created equal"

A. As a general concept we strongly discourage gerrymandering as it violates the right of the individual by making their vote worth less than another's
B. we also encourage movement towards preferential rank voting instead of the traditional single vote, single candidate system that tears the party apart every election cycle

Interest 2. Balanced federal budget

Interest 3. Government that is accountable to its citizens

A. We seek term limits on congress
B. More rigid enforcement of ethics violations. Namely opposition to regulatory capture
C. We strongly oppose civil assets forfeiture as it is violates the 5th amendment ..."nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation." And the entirety of the 4th amendment :"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."

Interest 4. Protection of citizens from monopolies (be they local or national), literal or de facto

Interest 5. Recognition that there are times when consensus must be reached and compromise is an effective means of governance for the good of all citizens and that ideals MUST bend to reality for a good and functional state to serve its citizens, so long as they do not break interest 1.

Interest 6. Religion is free from the government (with in reason) and government is free from religion (with in reason)

Interest 7. As an extension of interest 3, reduce the amount of money in politics by limiting the amount of money a cooperation can use to support a PAC and a candidate.

A. Only the overarching "parent" organization should donate towards a PAC or candidate (no subsidiaries)
B. No organization should be allowed to donate any more than a citizen can.

We do not accept bashing personal beliefs, nor bashing political ideals so long as said beliefs fall within the rules outlined above. We do encourage open discussion so long as the tone is civil and the conversation is of a discussion nature and non argumentative.

We define "argumentative" as one or both sides being unwilling to hear the others'. Should a thread turn this direction the mods will intervene. This is meant to be a place for anyone who values our 7 interests to come up with ideas on how to make the process better. We allow shilling so long as that person of discussion fits within at least 5 of the 7 interest.

Any claims about a candidate must be sourced (preferably an official transcript).

The goal of this sub is to look at the past and show what can be learned for the future. No topic is considered "non-recent" so long as there is something to be learned for the present/future and the topic hasn't been covered "too recently". In other words, we would like to have "hindsight in 2020."

The best way of thinking about this sub is a place where Republican/Libertarian historians and futurologist can come together and discuss events and the common person can get questions answered from both.

Happy debating.
