The Democratic platform is that systemic racism and carbon emissions are the source most all the nations problems.  Naturally, Republicans do not feel that way.  The Republican platform is that the drift away from traditional values, globalism, and liberal encouraged lawlessness are the source of most all the nations problems.    

A Republican could just as easily accuse a Democrat of not loving their country because Dem's will not acknowledge the issues they perceive as problems.

So, the problem with your assertion about the Republican platform is that it doesn't really jive. The "traditional values," yeah, that has been a hallmark of the GOP for a while (which is problematic in its own right, but I'm not going to get into that right now). However, globalism has been a big part of the Republican platform since the Reagan era. Both free market policies and interventionist policies have been a part of the Republican platform and are hallmarks of a globalist agenda. As for the lawlessness, well, that's a hard sell considering the number criminal acts committed by people in and around the current administration, even going so far as to commute or pardon some of them. Seems like a promotion of lawlessness by the current president and enabling by the Republicans in Congress as they refuse to hold him accountable.
