Republicans Cannot Be Trusted to Defend Our Democracy or Our Constitution

In my opinion, this is the most important message for Americans to receive before the next election.

There are many in the cult that will not hear it because they do not see any danger to our democracy.

But, in my opinion, there are many Republicans that understand that Trump and the present Republican establishment are a threat to our country.

By simply pointing out that the Republicans cannot be trusted with control of our government, most Americans understand that it carries a seed of truth.

It has to be that subtle, in my opinion, or they block out everything that is said in this partisan environment.

1. And it has the advantage of being the truth.

5. We know them by their own words...

Just listen to what elected Republican officials say on a daily basis. They invite violence, chaos, and foreign intervention in our domestic affairs. Listen to them advocate a small group of Republican representatives replacing the simple and elegant idea of one person one vote. Listen to them promote corporate monopolies and cartels over local small businesses.

The party of Lincoln has been drowned in a bathtub by 50 Republican Senators and about 200 GQP House members. They have replaced it with a violent cult that worships a one term president and promotes government at the point of a gun.

6. THis would be useful if

we were going to have any more free and fair elections. Without the voting rights bills there will be a Republican majority one way or anotherr

12. But, we also need to hammer

other messages.

For example, my current rep is taking credit for the Infrastructure bill, but she spoke against and voted against it. Her opponent should make the fact that she's a liar an issue. Make sure everyone knows she lies about things. Attack her credibility.

She's also said things in favor of the insurrectionists. Make a point of her lack of care for our nation.

They always say "X Democrat is TOO RADICAL for insert state name", well, we need to coopt that message because many of them are FAR too radical for the United States.

11. Ask Liz Cheney if they can be trusted

Or Adam Kinzinger. They would echo your statements, knowing full well that their party has been infiltrated and hijacked by Putin in Republicans' clothing. The cult plays right into his hands.

So, two messages to parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, etc.:

Republicans Cannot Be Trusted to Defend Our Democracy or Our Constitution.

Democrats are harming school children through prolonged remote schooling and mask mandates.

Which message accords with most voters' experiences and concerns? Youngkin and yesterday's successful recall of SF school board members should be ginormous clues.

Um, which party can't be trusted with the First Amendment? You know, like when they shut down churches, arrested people attending a political rally, censored political speech, and even news articles that go against their party?

Which party wants SCOTUS judges to follow The Constitution?

Which party wants SCOTUS judges to rewrite it?
