So the Republican Party is the party of book bans, government shutdowns, increasing the deficit by coddling wealthy tax cheats, ignoring subpoenas, canceling electoral votes of states they don’t reside in, and--to top it all off--death threats for anyone Trump inveighs against. Sounds like a winning platform.

It is a winning platform if you don't think for yourself, and willingly kowtow to the Orangutan and his narcisstic, autocratic hallucinations.

And run on a platform to “fix” inflation, something for which they continue to blame Biden. Has anyone seen a single effort in the Republican house to combat inflation, which is supposedly runaway. After all, the House is the appropriations branch. Or do the Republicans prefer to spend more taxpayer money with worthless, useless investigations?

Thank you for raising this point. While we’re at it, what specific policy solution has fat orange Donny proposed? Similar proposal as the GQP congressional cult members- Zero, zilch, nada...but inflation is a big problem...

Voted 2016 & 2018 62%

Biden 53%

Trump 46%

Voted 2016, not 2018 13%

Biden 45% Trump 53%

Voted 2018 only 6%

Biden 62%

Trump 36%

Neither 19%

Biden 49%

Trump 47%

Biden lost in those voters that Trump shook from the trees.

Active and new voters both favored Biden

It’s the classic cult response to the strongman demands.
