How about a three party system?

Nepotism? Mostly true. But review
past presidents for perspective.
Which president would be the nepotism king in your opinion since there's been a bunch in the past?

Xenophobia is a very dubious claim, but
again is about perception of style, not a policy.
Xenophobia leads to xenophobic policies.

I think what's going on isn't xenophobia, but rather that
Trump is prone to hatred & demonization. It extends to
many groups, both domestic & foreign. And since he really
likes many foreigners, eg, Israelis, it's not xenophobia.
But there's more power in using fancy terms to attack him.
Considered criticism is boring.

Antirepublicsn is the new racism, and then as
now, its a virtue to its practitioners.
T is so bad any negative thrives on auto- truth.

LGBT is too much to say except as acronym.
So is the antitrump litany.

XMRH....what else.

Anti-republicanism is the new racism? I never new all those white christians that make up the majority of the Democratic party can be racist to other whites.

Maybe you're referring to bigotry instead of racism?

Then give me a frubal.
I would, but I've been stripped of my frubal ability. Vanished. I may be mistaken, I never use the feature and it's probably located somewhere else.

Those qualities inform policies and it would be very naive to think it doesn't.

I made it clear that I recognize that.

My impression is that many here
figure all policies that make up the
republican platform are all "trumpsim"
and are all bad.

I am no Trump fan, his rhetoric is terrible
and does taint what it touches, imo.

If you feel an actual policy is wrong headed,
thats another matter.

To me it seems a mixed bag, the liberals
get some things right, same for conservatives.

Hillary was a horrible choice for democrat policy, Trump a disastrous one for conservative policy.

Do you hold that "xenophobia" is a policy ?
You didnt say.

One could go about listing other country's
immigration policies and laws re illegal
immigration. The USA is quite lax.
This is not true. In most countries, deportation or expulsion is not how illegal entry is treated. It's usually a fine or less than a years imprisonment if other crimes have been committed.
The United States also makes it considerably harder to get citizenship than most nations. And allows fewer refugees, especially lately, and asylum seekers.

I think this is a mistaken analysis / comparison,
but to the point is a grossly flawed unfair system that needs sane regulation.

People who would be a great asset to the country wait years, if they even try,
people who would make great citizens.

Meantime, the flood over the southern border
heads for "sanctuary cities" and fatass swivel chair
INS beaurocrats use their computers to
hunt down international students to expell
mid semester.

Are you opposed to immigration reform and
border control?

Do you consider Trumps so called
"Xenophobia" a policy?

Immigration reform, yes. Border control not so much.
And I don't assume that people coming over the southern border would be any less worthy citizens than those who have been waiting elsewhere. Especially since they make the backbone of our labor industries and provide a huge chunk of tax revenue. Plus they're largely industrious, hard working people with strong familiar ties.
