Worse than Trump: Head of the NRSC releases Republican plans for a dystopian, fascist America

GOP Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell has decided that the best way for Republicans to prevail in the midterms, and thus regain Congress, is to simply run against President Joe Biden and use inflation, mask wars, vaccine wars, and gas prices to defeat him. McConnell has decided not to release a competing Republican agenda—to have a plan Republicans will run on. Too bad, because that gives the guy he picked to head up the Senate Republicans 2022 effort, Florida Sen. Rick Scott, all the room he needed to go full-on fascist with his vision for America.

Politico got its hands on the Scott plan, and it is a chilling vision for the end of America as we know it. He calls it a plan to “rescue America.” It’s 11 points with 128 action items to fight the “militant left,” which “now controls the entire federal government, the news media, academia, Hollywood, and most corporate boardrooms.” Here’s what he says we militants are out to “change or destroy: American history, patriotism, border security, the nuclear family, gender, traditional morality, capitalism, fiscal responsibility, opportunity, rugged individualism, Judeo-Christian values, dissent, free speech, color blindness, law enforcement, religious liberty, parental involvement in public schools, and private ownership of firearms.” That’s just him warming up.

Scott’s ideas are an amalgam of standard Republican economic principles—keep taxes low for the rich, punish the olds and poor—and batshit Fox News, MAGA culture warrior propaganda fueled by conspiracy theories.

It’s a fun—albeit terrifying—gift for Democrats. There it all is: what Republicans really think about the majority of Americans and how they intend to suppress us.

No wonder McConnell didn’t want to put out an agenda; he knew it was going to be full of this kind of stuff. Too late, though. It’s been embraced by the Republican National Committee (RNC)—you know, the official Republican Party that said the Jan. 6 insurrection was “ordinary citizens engaged in legitimate political discourse.”

Yeah, that RNC.

6. Never trust a republican,ANY republican

Even the so called "moderates".

And we need to be prepared if these fascist fuckers win the midterms.
Thier agenda might start a civil war and if that happens they will give no quarter so destroy as many republicans aka fascists as possible and give them no quarter.

Because I dont know any other way to stop them if they win any election cycle from now or the future. They wont reason and they dont care.

7. This isn't new. This is what RWers have been hearing 24/7 from RW talk radio, where

it's a given, both for radio hosts and listeners who call in, that Democrats are not just the opposing political party, but the dangerous enemies of America and all RWers want it to stand for. Enemies who must be stopped, if not eradicated, at all costs.
