The survival of the internet as we know it is at risk, the platform reads. Its gravest peril originates in the White House, the current occupant of which has launched a campaign, both at home and internationally, to subjugate it to agents of government.
The warning about speech online is one of more than three dozen unflattering references to either the current president, current chief executive, current administration, people currently in control of policy, or the current occupant of the White House that appear in the Republican platform.
The platform censures the current president who in 2016 was, of course, Barack Obama and his administration for, among other things, imposing a social and cultural revolution, causing a huge increase in the national debt and damaging relationships with international partners.
Melody Potter, an R.N.C. member from West Virginia who sat on the partys platform committee in 2016 and planned to run for a seat on it this August, said she was pleased the platform was being rolled over for 2020.
The 2016 platform is the best one weve had in 40 years, so Im fine with renewing it and extending it to 2024, she said. As a matter of fact, and you can quote me on this, I think it is a ray of sunshine in this whole messy storm.
I find myself agreeing with a lot of what they are saying about the Whitehouse and current administration.
