Republican Party's obsession with banning birth control and choice is..

their party's Fascist BIG GOVERNMENT OPPRESSION of women.

Democrats are starting to teach people that fact. The outcry from our side has been inspiring, lately. Since the USSC leak.

To our Party..

Run ads on TV, Youtube, SM etc and ask people..

Are you going to allow Republicans to ban the pill, birth control, and choice?

Are you going to allow these BIG GOVERNMENT FASCISTS to rob you of your freedom?

Who's the BIG GOVERNMENT, freedom-robbing authoritarians now?

.........................................................

I wake up at 5am every morning. I walk outside to breathe fresh air every morning. Even in brutal northern Minnesota winter mornings.

I look up at the stars. I thank them for the Democratic Party.

Democrats are the party of reason.

Democrats are the true freedom-fighters.

Democrats protect freedom.

Campaign on that wonderful message.

Those laws outlawing travel to another state for an abortion can only be enforced if state and local officials track every woman’s online searches, visits to a women’s clinic, and travel to another state for any reason. They will demand that the purchase of a pregnancy test be registered so they can interrogate women who do not give birth within 7 or 8 months.

For tracking purposes, doctors will be required to file a report with the state on every woman who is pregnant. Heaven help them if they miscarry, which is common, because women will have to defend themselves against accusations that they caused it. That’s already a law in Georgia, and I’m sure other rabid red state legislators will copy it.

A police state for women of reproductive age in Republican states is on the horizon.

That would bring out sooo many people. Lots of people are eligible for a medical marijuana card but since they need a state license for their job are afraid to risk getting one. People with a carry permit fax the same issue. It would resonate with lots of farmers as it would be a high dollar crop.

3. There is a tactic that the GOP used that would guarantee reelection

Of all Dems and additional Dems.

It's called giving your voters (or in the GOPer's world, giving your donors) what they want.

If Biden forgives interest in all student loans, then promises to forgive the remainder of the loans. It will gurantee all students for the last 10 years and their parents will come out and vote for Dems.

The GOP did it with tax giveaways for the filthy rich. And then the GOP got a huge pile of donations, and the small number of votes that represents, from the filthy rich.

In the last election only 66% of students voted. And their parents? How did they vote? This would be a guaranteed win for the Dems and Biden can do it without any GOPers getting in the way.

You know damn well the GOPers would do it if they wanted those voters. And if the Dems don't do it, the GOP will likely do something very similar as soon as they get the presidency back.

Send that over to Jamie Harrison and the DNC. Maybe they will wake up from their nap and start delivering some messaging. The Lincoln project has done more for the Democratic Party than it seems the DNC has.

10. They are trying to RAISE MONEY by looking tough for their loathsome fascist followers

It's all about Money. The assholes behind this strategy have no philosophy, just force and greed. They hate
women and children because they are weak. They hate liberals because those folks have empathy toward 0thers, which is weak.

Get ready. All us Weak Sisters are going to get what fascists think the weak deserve! Then they will grab all the money for themselves. Ironically this is a crime they accuse liberals of committing: Taking tax money--but giving it to the undeserving poor and other weak characters, instead of the military and banks where the fascists can grab it for themselves.

If history is any judge, the banks are behind this whole new war too. I can't prove that, just it has been shown repeatedly through history to be true (ultimately--banks like to keep that shit on the down low)

We said we would strengthen it and then crickets. The Fascist party wants to sunset it. Take a damn vote on it and get the fascist politicians on record of wanting to end social security.

Long story short: SIMPLE MESSAGE and GOTV

Simple message
Repubs are all about
Fraud
Fear, and
Fascism

and Every Accusation is a Confession.


More here. The first three are from Jaime Harrison.

Finally, a sticky slogan for the GOP: 'Fraud, fear and fascism'

(snippet)
Democratic National Committee Chair Jaime Harrison on Wednesday offered a particularly apt summation of Republicans on MSNBC's Morning Joe.

“It is a party built on fraud, fear and fascism," Harrison said. "They don’t deserve to be in power.”


The three Fs—Fraud, Fear, and Fascism—are a perfect alliteration for the GOP. The fact that it could fit on a bumper sticker is also a notable advancement for Democratic messaging.

Culling Republicans down to a sticky umbrella message about the pervasive corruption pulsing through the GOP would be super helpful for Democrats.

Every time Republicans say the 2020 election was stolen, the response can be, "There they go again."

Every time they claim their efforts to suppress votes and rig election outcomes are legitimate attempts to curb fraud, the response can be, "There they go again."

Every time they blanket Democrats with repulsive smears like "pedophiles" or "groomers," the response can be, "There they go again."

But let's linger for a minute on the latest trope Republicans are rolling out to smear Democrats and anyone else who dares to disagree with them: the notion that they are pedophiles who are grooming children for sexual abuse. On one level, it's a preposterous charge—the whole pedophile ring thing is so 2016. But the coked-up party of orgies does have a recurring obsession with lobbing sexual smears at their political opponents.
