Jesus. Thats all they got, huh?
Fighting "wokeness."
No jobs plan, no plan on Healthcare, no plan on education, no plan on housing, it's just wokeness. I hope Gen Z makes sure their registration is in perfect order next year.

The scary part is, it's working.
That's not what's working. It's the gerrymandering that's working.
While gerrymandering is definitely a big reason, it's the absolutely unprecedented propaganda fire hose that is motivating conservative voters. Fox News and conservative media has transformed 30-40% of the country and the only word that rationally describes the the evidence is "brainwashing."
These people aren't just believing different things, they have been taught by their news sources to distrust and actively resist all other news and contradictory information. They are taught that there is an "other" that is barely human that wants to destroy them, and their in-group is the only thing that can protect them. They are fed stimulus all day long to keep those feelings of fear, anger and revulsion stoked.
Rupert Murdoch has created what may be history's largest, most dangerous cult. It sounds sensationalist, I don't use that word lightly, but the definition fits the facts.
Statewide elections are not subject to gerrymandering, and in places like FL, show that the white nationalist rhetoric is absolutely effective. But yes, gerrymandering too.
On Healthcare they have anti abortion. That's a positive in their eyes! Hopefully their clickbait tactics are losing touch with the voters.
It's easy to figure out what the Republican Party doesn't want. They never tell me what they actually want.
"ECONOMICS is a secondary matter. World history teaches us that no people became great through economics: it was economics that brought them to their ruin. A people died when its race was disintegrated. Germany, too, did not become great through economics."
- Adolf Hitler
Yeah. Hitlers great notion that economics are a secondary matter killed millions, split the German country into two, destroyed the economy of Europe, and visited one of the greatest man made horrors on the world.
I'd pump the brakes on quoting the guy if that's your first thought about the upcoming presidential election.
I imagine that was entirely their point.
You think I was comparing somebody to Hitler because I supported them?
tldr
if KY voters care more about the gender issue than they do at the incumbent party's failed sky-is-falling economic policy, then KY will switch Red
Hard disagree. Neither party can spot a clue even if Steve helped.
