Have Any Repugs Taken Offense To The MSM Talking Heads Accusing R's Of Destroying Democracy?....

I think if I were a Repug and I heard the MSM talking heads - on an around the clock basis - saying that my Party was out to destroy our democracy - I would take offense.

I would want to defend my Party and I would want to make sure that I would give examples as to how my Party is defending democracy.

The fact that I don't hear any Repugs - except Liz Cheney, Adan Kinzinger & Romney - taking a stand for democracy - I got to think that the Repugs are actually and methodically trying to destroy our democracy.

... they theorize we can't brute force a mid term election like we did in 2018 without Putin's Whore scaring the crap out of sane people.

That's a big gamble, when dems get messaging consistent and flooded shit happens.

The GQP are counting on us to do similar to DTP last year, say little to nothing

... see Biden saying democracy is at stake so that's a start but we need to start demonizing MAGA Minions to get the message established to the middle voters and enfranchise those who aren't constant voters.



I'm praying the DNC has a plan on this in regards to messaging and painting GQP as anti democracy

I'm more worried that these gun nutters will go democrat hunting after hearing over and over how the Radical left controls Joe Biden and are destroying the country.

I think they’d be surprised at the outcome if they went “Democrat hunting”.

We have a gun in our household too. It is not used for hunting of any kind. Purely for defense. I live in the countryside, and the only time I think I would use it is if I had a rattlesnake under my porch (or something like that), a bear going after my doggies, or a human trying to get me or my mom.
