The Republican Solution

The Republican solution to increased violence: Stir the pot at every opportunity, encourage citizens to see each other as enemies that must be eliminated, promote the idea that civil war is not only inevitable, but welcome.

The Republican Solution to mass shootings, gun crimes: Pass legislation that makes it easier to own firearms, avoid background checks, and support stand-your-ground laws that justify murder.

The Republican solution to losing elections: Suppress the votes of those who are likely to vote against them, and spread the Big Lie in order to promote the idea that any election they lose is due to fraud.

The Republican solution to the rights of white Americans being diluted via brown/black immigrants: Take away the rights of women by forcing them to give birth to more white babies.

The Republican solution to poorly-educated citizens: Ban books, ban discussion, ban everything that leads students to actually think for themselves.

The Republican solution to growing the economy: Raise taxes on the poor and the middle-class, give more tax-cuts to wealthy individuals and corporations.

The Republican solution to climate change: Just ignore it - it will go away by itself, just like Covid did.

The Republican solution to corruption in government: What corruption? We have no idea what you're talking about. Investigation is just another word for 'witch-hunt'.

The Republican solution to pretty much everything: Lie, cheat, and steal in order to gain political power - so that you can continue to lie, cheat and steal.

Fraud, Fear, Fascism, or as I like to call it, the Republicant's 3F messaging strategy.

And since they no longer have a platform, choosing instead “whatever Trump says,” perhaps you could send this to Ronna McDaniel.

... pretty much ALL of them. I think that's because the Repukes have NONE of their own.
