Stupidest branding move since "New Coke". No GOP votes for Stimulus


President Biden is ushering through the most popular legislation in 100 years.

No Republican votes.

This is the worst branding move for Republicans since Coke came out with a new formula.

They are now officially the "We got nothing and we aren't for anything" Party.

Makes the "Know Nothing Party" look like Ivy League Scholars.

except opposition to Democrats and loyalty to Trump. They are still all marching lockstep with one another, but there is no real agenda. At this rate, they'll be marching together off the cliff.

1. Block everything they can and whine about anything that the D's manage to make happen.

2. Run against the D's and Biden as being divisive do-nothings.

"Throwing your hard earned money away.". Can hear it now.

The obvious defense is to constantly drum away at that they didn't care about anyone. Not a single vote. Hope we do that !

With demanding no taxation for the wealthy and forcing the middle and lower classes pull themselves up by the bootstraps to take responsibility for paying off the Federal Debt before the government ever funds anything not specifically defined in the Constitution they tried to shred and burn on January 6th.

The fact that these asshole Republicans even got elected proves that a lot of Americans are the dumbest fucking people of the human species... Perhaps they have a large accumulation of Neanderthal genes in their family tree.

Instead of avoiding or ignoring Republicans, the Democratic Party MUST ridicule, embarrass, shame, and mock the hell out of the Republican Party at every move until they can conduct themselves responsibly. Turn that 'R' into a reject brand for all Americans.
