It is the case of two parties working together and being one, because that’s what we’re seeing here. We saw it when Paul Ryan blocked his efforts for a better economic deal than what we ended up with; we saw it when the late John McCain blocked the repeal of Obamacare. And of course, we saw it when self-professed conservative Republicans certified a fraudulent election in 2021.
Sorry; not buying it, with all due respect. The masquerade is too transparent these days.
Funny you should mention McCain. He was a liberal in conservative clothing:
Such things as:
McCain declined to sign the pledge of the group Americans for Tax Reform to not add any new taxes or increase existing taxes.
McCain was one of only two Republicans to twice vote against the permanent repeal of the Estate Tax.
He was one of two Republicans who voted against Bush’s tax cuts in 2001. On Meet the Press he said, “I voted against the tax cuts because of the disproportional amount that went to the wealthiest Americans.”
In 2016, McCain called the F-35 program a “scandal and a tragedy”, noting a change in stance towards the topic from his 2012 position, as seen when an Arizonan airbase was chosen for the aircraft he lauded it as “the greatest combat aircraft in the history of the world”
He supported the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), and the existing General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) agreements. Trump says it undermined U.S. jobs and manufacturing, and in December 2019, his administration completed an updated version of the pact with Canada and Mexico, now known as the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA). The USMCA won broad bipartisan support on Capitol Hill and entered into force on July 1, 2020.
McCain proposed that seniors with higher incomes should pay higher premiums for government-provided prescription drug benefits (Medicare Part D) as a way to reduce federal spending on health care. They aren’t getting any extra service are they? They are already paying the highest tax amounts in the country.
He flip flopped on privatizing social security
McCain voted against the Telecommunications Act of 1996 (that includes Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act) on the grounds that it would not ensure competition enough in practice, making him and Oregon Senator Bob Packwood the only Republicans to vote against the measure. (Team player?)
McCain opposed the Post-9/11 Veterans Educational Assistance Act, introduced by Senator Jim Webb, which provides college-tuition benefits for veterans in a manner similar to that of the original G.I. Bill for veterans of World War II.
McCain said that he favored the concept of equal pay (the abolition of wage differences based on gender). He has, however, opposed specific legislation that would have given workers more time to discover sex discrimination before bringing suit under the Equal Pay Act of 1963.
Not seeing a lot of GOP favored actions there.
Your entry of the 45 communist goals was displayed by Albert S. Herlong Jr., a ten term democratic representative from Florida and every one of them is a pro liberal action of which most has been accomplished already leading to socialist conforms.

BTW, please assist me by not mentioning the liberal GOP people like Susan Collins currently in as she is about as loyal to the GOP as Godzilla is to Tokyo. She mirrors McLain.
