"The GOP wants a big military!" Yes, that is one of the constitutionally granted responsibilities of our federal government and we believe nothing is more provocative in the world than US weakness. And the last 8 years proved that.
"The GOP wants tax cuts for the elites!" Well, we want tax cuts for everybody meaning elites will get them also. And since they pay way more than anyone else, they will see more money coming back. But they will still pay way more.
"The GOP wants Establishment of Landed Aristocracy!" I can't even begin to understand what the f*ck that means, but it is the kind of buzzword, fake alarmist nonsense that turns people away from the left.
"The GOP wants a return to torture as policy!" No, but many of us don't believe making someone think they are drowning when they are not drowning is torture. And we don't think being tough on bad guys is necessarily the end of the world.
"The GOP wants the dumping of mining sludge into mountain streams!" This "GOP hates clean air and water" silliness has not worked for the left in decades. Yes, we want responsible regulation that protects important values but allows business to thrive and people to work. That is not hating anything. That is balanced common sense.
