Diverse means, "showing a great deal of variety; very different."
Yes, Republicans do not represent a “a great deal of variety”
They have some woman and some Hispanics but less than the Democrats, and not much else.
They have a negligible amount of blacks, Asians, LGBTQ, non Christian, young, college educated, immigrant, non English speaking voters.

- If so, we can move on to the arguments for any other propositions, if not, I expect a counter argument.
Your so called proof in those links doesn’t backup what you are saying. And 4 groups out of dozens in the American electorate hardly makes the Republican Party or its voters a diverse group. Republicans are generally white, male, straight, older, non-college, and a church going Christians.
They are less likely to be a person of color, female, LGBTQ, young, college educated, Jewish, Muslim or atheist.
One of your links had this summary: “We find that Democrats are more educated, racially diverse, and ideologically heterogeneous than Republicans. Republicans are more likely to have higher levels of income than Democrats, lower levels of education, and are more likely to adopt nativist views of what it means to be a “real” American”
Republicans do not celebrate diversity. They prefer all Americans to be white, straight, and Christian.

I believe that Republicans are a diverse group of people,
Really? You really believe that? And they do or do not celebrate diversity? They celebrate differences in this country in terms of religion, language, skin color, ethnicity, sexual orientation, sexual identity?

- What is the argument for that?
Are you stupid? Or just doing the Tucker Carlson fake “I don’t understand”
Trump attracts support from known racist organizations identified by the Southern PovertyLaw Center - The Proud Boys, the KKK, The Oath Keepers etc.
Trump became popular with the Republican base when he asserted the racist trope that Obama was not an American citizen.
Trump introduced himself as a candidate by saying Mexicans bring drugs, are rapists…
Trump attempted to ban Muslims from traveling to the United States.
Trump horrifically separated migrant and refugee children from their parents to scare others from coming to this country.
They oppose equal rights for LGBTQ people and gay marriage
Just recently, Trump used the racist dog whistle - the N word as a reference to nuclear
Make America Great Again is a euphemism for Make America White Again.

I don't see how this would affect Trump supporters even if we granted that they do not support homosexuality.
Trump supporters like Trump because of his racist tropes.
But Trump supporters might change their mind about him if they knew he was groomed by a gay man, because Republicans are not only racist, they are homophobic.

Marjorie the dummy faces another House resolution for censure.
House Democrats are again seeking to censure Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) over “Joe Biden is Hitler” social media posts. Rep. Brad Schneider (D-Ill.) introduced a resolution on Thursday.
The move comes after Greene posted on Twitter that “Joe Biden is Hitler” and subsequently tweeted a doctored video of the president with a small mustache standing at a lectern with swastikas in the background dubbed with audio of the Nazi leader.
Schneider first drafted a censure resolution last summer after Greene repeatedly compared the coronavirus vaccine and mask mandates to the Holocaust. But Schneider dropped the resolution after Greene visited the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum and issued an apology for what she called her “offensive” remarks.
Greene’s two years in Congress have been marred by controversy: She was stripped of her committee assignments during her second month in office over her history of support for violence against Democratic officials and adherence to QAnon ideology.

Maggie Haberman of The NY Times just wrote a book about Donald Trump - Confidence Man. It has some surprising revelations.
“Trump’s chief mentor, and a consigliere to most of the big shots named above, was the legendary underworld and overworld fixer Roy Cohn. The pampered son of a kingpin in Bronx Democratic politics, long notorious for his McCarthyite Red Scare grandstanding, Cohn, as Haberman details, connected Trump with Roger Stone as well as with organized crime while giving him master classes in high-stakes con-man strategy and tactics. Whenever Trump today intimidates the press with threats of retaliation, whenever he defends his aggressions by claiming to be the victim, whenever he calls his accusers (especially if they represent the federal government) life-destroying, treasonous “scum,” he is channeling his mentor, Cohn”
Although Cohn always denied his homosexuality in public, he had a few known boyfriends over the course of his life, including his assistant Russell Eldridge, who died from AIDS in 1984, and Peter Fraser, Cohn's partner for the last two years of his life, who was 30 years his junior.[84][85]
Speculation about Cohn's sexuality intensified following his death from AIDS in 1986.[8] In a 2008 article published in The New Yorker, Jeffrey Toobin quotes erstwhile Cohn associate Roger Stone: "Roy was not gay. He was a man who liked having sex with men. Gays were weak, effeminate. He always seemed to have these young blond boys around. It just wasn't discussed. He was interested in power and access."[86]
In 1986, Cohn was disbarred by the Appellate Division of the New York State Supreme Court for unethical conduct after attempting to defraud a dying client by forcing the client to sign a will amendment leaving him his fortune.[6] He died five weeks later from AIDS-related complications,[7] having vehemently denied that he was suffering from HIV.

Walker definitely qualifies in the hypocrisy category to be a Republican.
But Because he’s black, it seems likely Republicans will be inclined to believe he paid for abortions and pressured women to get them and then lied about it. He won’t have the benefit of white privilege like Bret Kavanaugh did when his scandal was exposed.

A majority of Republican nominees on the ballot this November for the House, Senate and key statewide offices — 299 in all — have denied or questioned the outcome of the last presidential election, according to a Washington Post analysis.
Many of these candidates echo the false claims of former president Donald Trump — claims that have been thoroughly investigated and dismissed by myriad officials and courts. Experts said the insistence on such claims, despite the lack of evidence, reflects a willingness among election-denying candidates to undermine democratic institutions when it benefits their side…Far from repudiating candidates who embrace Trump’s false fraud claims, GOP primary voters have empowered them.
“I don’t believe we’ll ever have a fair election again,” Trump told the crowd. “I don’t believe it.”
Republican voters are bad for America! They are stupid. They are living outside of reality. They are putting our country at risk.

A gun is a tool, as are the scalpels and forceps used to dismember babies. The only thing banned is an illicit use of a tool, such as murder. And guess what: it's already illegal to use guns in that way.
That would mean that you believe the only way to prevent harm to people is to make it unlawful. And that would of course be nonsense.

After hurricane Sandy hit New Jersey in 2012, Ron DeSantis, a newly sworn-in congressman, was one of 67 House Republicans who voted against the relief bill. DeSantis said he sympathized with victims and that those with flood insurance should have their claims paid. But he said that “allowing the FEMA program to increase its debt by another $9.7 billion with no plan to offset the spending with cuts elsewhere is not fiscally responsible.”
I suggest any relief funding for Florida be offset by cuts in funding to farmers in the Midwest. After all, we need to be “fiscally responsible”, right Ron?

Because you are lying about what individual Republican candidates are promising. It's also a lie to state individual candidates have no platform because the RNC has no platform. People can and often vote for their constituents before worrying about a party coalition. See Joe Manchin and Liz Cheney for clarification.
First, Culture wars is not a term for lying. Second, it’s not a lie to say the Republican Party is thin on policy and has no National Platform.
You are a dummy.

The funny thing is, you make all this talk about how she takes advantage of a culture war, and then you promote the culture war with your “Republicans have no platform” statement. You are the real hypocrite here.
That makes absolutely zero sense. How do I promote a culture war by pointing out the Republican Party has no set platform of policies they support?
Do you understand what the term culture war means? It means my values are superior (and more Christian) than your values.

You lack an understanding of Republicans then. Probably because you are focused more on vilifying them instead of refuting their arguments.
They literally have no approved platform right now.
The Republican Party platform for the 2020 campaign has been released—and it does not exist!
RESOLVED, “That the Republican National Convention will adjourn without adopting a new platform until the 2024 Republican National Convention.”
Google it. Make sure you are searching for the NATIONAL platform.

You’re deflecting. Please tell me why this thread is important.
And you’re not facing reality. The reality that Republicans have no political platform. You must agree that Republicans are not smart voters. I mean look at some of these candidates around the country who have won primaries. Herschel Walker! Kari Lake! The Republican Party is a cult.
But the reason this thread is important is that an outspoken member of Congress is a phony, a fraud and a hypocrite who is the antithesis of an empty chair in Congress. She gets elected using the culture wars, “I’m a white Christian with Christian values who hates political correctness and then gets exposed as fraud when she goes against the Bible and gets divorced. And she thinks gay marriage will ruin America? Worry about your own marriage.
Get it?

A smart voter cares about policy first and foremost.
What policies are in mind when people cheer on the culture wars? Do you think Trump is a big policy guy?
Trump’s ideas on policy are thin. Instead he is little more than a carnival barker. Even the Republican Party has no official platform. They said they would let us know what they will do if and when they become the majority party.
So I guess that means Republicans are not “smart voters”, and that’s why someone like Majorie can win in a Republican district.

So the guy that won in 2016 because Hilary used a private server for her emails and she should be “locked up” is guilty of doing far worse with classified documents.
“During his four years in office, Trump never strictly followed the rules and customs for handling sensitive government documents, according to 14 officials from his administration, most of whom spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss what they called Trump’s mishandling of classified information.”

Dig a little deeper high school
Confirmation bias is a psychological term for the human tendency to only seek out information that supports one position or idea. This causes you to have a bias towards your original position because if you only seek out information that supports one idea, you will only find information that supports that idea.
Confirmation bias cannot be eliminated, but it can be managed, for example, by education and training in critical thinking skills. Perhaps you can learn some critical thinking skills through your on-line community college classes.
