Who are you talking about, Republicans?

[NanceGreggs]

We keep hearing from the GOP about how voters are focused on "kitchen table issues", like being able to feed their families, pay their bills, cover their rent, and survive from paycheck to paycheck.

And I don't argue with that concept, which is straight out of the bleedin' obvious playbook.

That being said, and given what the GOP has been focused on, I can't help but wonder who these families they're talking about actually are.

Who are these voters that gather at the kitchen table to discuss drag queens, which books they want banned, and how many rainbow T-shirts are available at their local Target store?

Who are these families that sit down at the kitchen table to talk about their main concerns being Disney movies, Amanda Goreman's poetry, "woke" candy makers, and how another investigation of Hillary Clinton is uppermost in their minds?

The People have spoken, loud and clear. The majority of our citizenry is in Favour of legal abortion and getting assault weapons off the streets. And the response from the GOP has been to tighten abortion restrictions and loosen restrictions on access to firearms.

I don't pretend to be a political analyst, but my guess is that those "kitchen table" talks are more about keeping kids safe from school shooters and protecting women's rights than they are about Pride flags and ensuring that billionaires keep their yacht and private jet tax write-offs.

At any given time, any politician can be accused of not being able to read the room. But how totally incompetent can an entire political party be when they can't read an entire nation?

1. Republicans keep showing the country who they are. They lie, cheat, and steal to get elected

yet have no ability to govern; nor any interest in doing so. For them, it's all about being in charge.

[GoodRaisin]

6. And they bully.

They dearly love to bully. That’s what governing is to them. Bullying.

[LoisB]

7. You are so right about that.

[vapor2]

2. Totally good point(s)

but what we care about falls on deaf ears. Clearly, they only care about their power and the hell with the rest of us.

3. Elephant (so to speak) in the room.

Over 90% of wealth is concentrated in the hands of a few, and THEY HOARD IT.

If they contributed a smidgeon more, working people would be vastly better off.

Need I mention universal health care?

The list goes on and on.

Culture wars? ----> Divide and Conquer.



YOU HAVE BEEN SO HAD!!
The goppers are afraid of losing their "base"
You'll go down with them.
Bye Bye!

4. Exactly, perfectly said!

And I continue to wonder why their voters continue to vote against not only their own interests, but policies that continue to harm all Americans!

[Mr.Bill]

5. They stopped going into "the room" years ago.

Now they don't even go into "the country".

[Walleye]

8. More like the at the bar than the kitchen table

I look at these issues as things guys yell about when drinking in public

[Emile]

9. Republicans are finger pointers. They sit on their hemorrhoidal

asses, and out of thin air create make believe wedge issues and point their shit stained fingers. That's what they think is governing.

[NotVeryImportant]

10. All Republicans do is lie, obfuscate, fear monger and divide.

It seems to be working fairly well for them.
