Platform said they would push for changes opposed by Democrats. The platform proposed to modify Taft-Hartley Act to (Republican’s claimed) strengthen rights of unions and works to participate in unions. #5 Says they will continue to improve the unemployment insurance system (rather vague) (See also ).#4 “Extend minimum wage” referred in 1956 to covering more types of workers under minimum wage provisions, not to increasing the minimum wage $ value.This Act has little to do with today’s legal and illegal immigration situation. The Act required refugees who lack “the essentials of life” to present evidence of US sponsorship for housing and a job. #3 Refers to Refugee Relief Act asylum for refugees (not equivalent to those immigrating illegally), through a thorough screening of refugees and verifying their history for at least 2 years.#2 “We shall continue to seek extension and perfection of a sound social security system.” (vague).Here is how the issues line up with the platform (my analysis, similar to Snopes):.The poster uses words from 1956 in a clever fashion to imply activities in 2015 that are not actually the same. Issues regarding this poster are described by Snopes which notes discrepancies between the poster and the original 1956 platform: The main problem with a poster like this is that complexity and subtle issues are lost when simplified to bullet points. Some times the quotes are taken out of context, sometimes not. The old Soviet propaganda machine often made points by quoting US politicians and media (e.g. How many viewers of this poster do you think will recognize that the poster’s bullet list refers to something rather different?
The poster is also “busy” – too much for a reader to process and draw a conclusion in seconds.Ĭlick the link to see how many of the points in the poster, while sounding similar to issues in 2015-2016, are in fact, referring to something very different.This approach can be effective, even when, as Snopes points out, this stretches the truth. The poster uses words from 1956 in a clever way to imply support for 2015-2016 issues that are really quite different.This poster comes from a left wing web site “GOP-The Party of Mean” and uses the technique of quoting one’s opposition to score points.
