I'm more into ideas and policies than political parties. But some ideas are more popular in one party than the other. Which party loves these?
Close schools, mask children, vaccine and booster mandates for low risk populations
Ministry of Truth
Abandon fossil fuels, natural gas, hydroelectric power, nuclear, and go all in on solar and wind
Defund the police,allow crimes up to $1000 to go unpunished, and let career criminals out on bail to commit more crimes
A covid test for citizens to re-enter, but not for illegal immigrants at the border
All kids to learn gender ideology, white kids to learn that they are racist, and asian kids that they are white adjacent
I'm sure there are more.

Empty the prisons onto the streets.
Woke DA's elected with Soros dough who won't even charge most criminals.
Defund, disarm and eliminate police.
Allowing riots with orders for police to stand down.
There's more I'm sure.
He's going to make a great POTUS.
Eliminate free speech and right to protest for opposition.
Cancel culture via social media shame and boycott.
Use the fear of life ending due to global warming to justify all of the above.
Shellenberger book San Fransicko spells out the Soros money.

Sri Lanka's Ruling Family Is in Hiding Due to... Hikes in Fuel Prices and Food Costs
—Ace
Oh really.
Nearly a year later, Sri Lanka lies in economic ruin, with basic food items scarce, hospitals out of medicine and lines for fuel stretching for blocks as the country's foreign reserves all but run out. The wave of anger now gripping the country is as much about the family dynasty ruling Sri Lanka as it is about the economic disaster. Once empowered by a triumphant Buddhist Sinhalese nationalism after a brutal civil war, the Rajapaksas have been undone by what their own allies call incompetence and denial.
Now, that dynasty, which has dominated the country for the greater part of two decades, is on the verge of an end, with most of the family in hiding at a military base and only the president clinging to power. The latest to go: Mahinda Rajapaksa, the patriarch and prime minister, who was evacuated from his home this week after setting off clashes that left eight people dead across the country.
...
Over a period of decades, the small island nation of 22 million people had built a ,bloated state sector, robust social welfare programs that exceeded the country's means, a large military and an elaborate series of postwar construction projects. As economic growth slowed, it kept borrowing to pay.
Whew! At least America has done nothing like that.
The economic stress increased as pandemic travel restrictions dried up tourism dollars. Then came a disastrous ban on chemical fertilizers, as the Rajapaksa government pushed organic farming at a time when climate change was already threatening harvests and food security.
