Here's a thought, Republicans ...
It has become increasingly apparent that you are using every means possible to keep certain people from voting - i.e. those likely to vote (D) - gerrymandering, claiming that voter fraud is rampant and stricter voting laws need to be implemented, et cetera.
Obviously, you can't simply rely on allowing every eligible voter to cast a ballot - because you've already determined that when everyone votes, you can't win.
So here's a thought. Maybe if your party offered people something worth voting for, you wouldn't have to go through all these machinations in order to win elections.
Maybe if your in-office politicians actually did their jobs by improving the lives of their constituents, they wouldn't have to spend all their time trying to convince them that voting against their best interests is doing their job.
Maybe if your party's representatives actually voted for the things their constituents care about - like policies that would lower gas prices, get baby formula back on the shelves, lower the cost of prescription drugs - instead of voting against them, they could run on their record of achievements instead of blaming Democrats for their own abysmal failures.
Maybe if you stopped being lying, corrupt hypocrites, you wouldn't have to put so much effort into fear-mongering about Americans being "replaced" by caravans of brown-skinned, drug-smuggling rapists who are pouring into the country via an alleged "open border" that doesn't exist.
Maybe - just maybe - if your party addressed real problems like the need for sensible gun-control legislation, rising violence and hate crimes, unfair tax laws that put tax burdens on the middle-class instead of the wealthy, greedy corporations increasing their profits while blaming rising prices on inflation, AND the complete annihilation of women's rights - you wouldn't have to wage war on Disney, Sesame Street, and sexy M&Ms.
Maybe if you put as much effort into actually representing The People as you do banning books, telling women that carrying their rapist's baby is a blessing, and pretending to be "good Christians", you wouldn't have to grovel for votes from an ever-shrinking base of the woefully stupid, the permanently gullible, and the perpetually misinformed.
So you see, there ARE ways to "broaden your base" - but you have instead chosen to narrow the base of voters eligible to vote.
That's not the sign of a party with a winning agenda that appeals to voters across the board - it is a sign of the complete desperation of a party that has nothing to offer - and knows it.
