When Will The Entire Fake Conservative "Republican Brand" Be Exposed As A Fraud?

They talk Jesus, but ignore all Jesus taught.
They are fiscally conservative except for when it comes to money going to the wealthy.
They don't even believe in conserving our planet.
They think they can kill their way to peace (and profitability).
Their economic policies are fairy dust, and trickle down tax cut destruction.
I could go on.

Their whole brand is a fraud.

They are simply racist, fearful bullies, and don't give a damn about anyone but themselves. Not even their kids. They have no boundaries, and will viciously attack public servants, heroes, and patriots, (with lies) simply because they don't like what they say.

Frauds.

This needs to be pounded home at every opportunity.

These people, today's Republicans are rabid animals, and not conservative in any way.

Demographics will soon wipe out republican lies. As Senator Schumer said to a convention floor reporter: we are on the cusp of a golden age.

Dem leadership has nurtured the top & let the grassroots wither. The repubs have been focusing on state legislators for a long time.

The Trouble For Democrats That’s Not Spelled With a Capital T-R-U-M-P
While the party has been making history at the national level, it's losing ground in the states.

snip...

Since 2010, in contests for state House and state Senate seats, Democrats have racked up a net deficit of 913 seats. Republicans now control 68 of the nation’s 99 state legislative chambers, a historic high. Of the 31 states where one party enjoys a “trifecta” — holding the governor’s office and majorities in both state legislative chambers — Republicans are in charge in 22.

That has enormous implications nationally.

“In 2010, we gave away the House of Representatives for a decade,” Rathod said, referring to the congressional redistricting maps, redrawn after every new Census. In most states that’s done by legislators, and in most states Republicans controlled the process. The result are district lines that are so favorable to Republicans that many experts believe it will take another redistricting for Democrats to even have a prayer of regaining the House speakership.

Because she has been brainwashed on the media narrative that Hillary is a liar.

But at least she won't vote for Cheeto and thinks rethugs are evil.

That they think is is somehow cool to be cynical about the political process. I call it ignorant arrogance. They may very well find themselves fiddling while Rome burns. They have more time left than anybody and therefore more to lose. But it would be uncool to actually commit to anything. If you don't play you can't lose.

and exposure for their distortions, hypocrisy, sad history of governing, low tactics, and worthless policies.

Dem leaders and pundits do a bad job, IMHO, of linking Trump to the GOP and of making the easy case against their policies.

heavy lifting for governing responsibly and reject a megalomaniac running for president. Decades of lying, deception, low tactics, distraction, manipulation, media control....have resulted in the rise of a dangerous man that WE have to spend time defeating. If the gop were interested in being a responsible, competent party we wouldn't be wasting our lives with this crap.

And the solution to gullibility is education. Education fixes everything. Seriously, 90% of the world's problems is solved by education.

Been around as an adult a quarter century or so, and this country is more stupid today than yesterday, and was more stupid yesterday than they day before.

And, as someone else noted in a response, the Rs have more power today than ever in congress, state governors and legislatures ...
