Uvalde Shooting--Tragedy...and sad to say "AGAIN!?" As some wise people have said "don't waste a crisis". I hate to use this tragedy for political purposes, BUT the Dems have an opportunity to use this to take the offense on a 2 for 1 culture war, frontal assault.

I hate to use this tragedy for political purposes, BUT the Dems have an opportunity to use this to take the offense on a 2 for 1 culture war, frontal assault. Take control/go on the offense of 2 different narratives...the Pro Life (particularly for those "without a voice") narrative and "parents looking about for the well being of their kids" narrative by focusing on how to protect their kids from actually getting killed vs stuff that won't kill them like trans athletes, CRT, gender identity, "feelings" about race, what books to read, etc. Expose their misplaced sense of priorities over their kids lives. Go on the offense vs constantly playing defense to the narrative Republicans set. Let's have THAT Pro Life discussion. The Dems should say "Bring it On." And expose the Pro Life party as just a Pro Birth party......and then they suddenly transition to the "personal responsibility" party, i.e. "you're on your own".
I agree completely. 2 thoughts come to mind: 1) Republicans are the DO NOTHING party...even when its children being shot. The GOP response? DO NOTHING 2) They want to outlaw abortions so the kids can be slaughtered later.
Sorry...I'm feeling particularly surly this evening.

Hard not to be exasperated....did you see Steve Kerr's emotional reaction today?
