Republican Strategy


It's pretty obvious to me, that the power and control shift of Trumpism has realigned itself to the power control of State legislatures as the means to a return of power.
Republican controlled State legislatures that once only impacted their own State has become a national control phenomenon.
People assume Trump's control of the House and the Senate is due to those elected officials loyalty.. It does NOT.. The control of Republican representative rests in their own State and the State's control rest in the State legislature.
The historic similarity would be the cause of the CIVIL WAR. States power and rights that go against the national interest..
Republican control is paramount to their survival..they take it anywhere they can find it. The only place, given the partisanship and the power now is in the State legislatures.
States are easy targets for Republicans to control with a minority of the voters and the partisanship that negate Republicans voting for ANY DEMOCRAT..
Partisanship is not a division of the parties .. it a Republican tool for control.
In the coming election and in 2024.. State Republicans committees will try to elected syncophants.. to control both the State and National elections. The goal for voter suppression is NOT the national election. It's control of the state election and that impact on the nation.
Most Republicans who would wish to represent the entire state independently, can not avoid the partisanship to be elected. For the Republican Party this is not a ideology thing.. it's a survival thing. Much like the Confederate States believed.
For Democrats, partisanship and progressiveness has played into the hands of this Republican Strategy.
The Democrats must end their partisanship...and instead of fighting the uphill battle in Red State.. to create their own agenda.. Work to make sure that Republican candidates who do not support this Republican strategy get elected. A minority can control an election. if they can suppress the vote.. and more important split the vote.....
It is a vital necessity to elect Republican officials in Red States.That are NOT Republican party sycophants..that are not Trump sycophants.. And unlike those people now in charge of the Republican party..actually believe in our Democracy
To break the State legislature hold....Where now exists the likes Murkowski, Sass, Cassidy, Romney, Kato. Cheney and Kinsinger instead of trying beat them.....make sure they get elected again. Send that ..and see what "other" Republicans begin to do.

I know most of you would think it sounds crazy.. but It's the only way to break the partisanship, ruin the strategy, and stave off a new Civil War.
The Confederate States didn't convince everyone, in the South, that the Civil war was necessary..
What they did.. Was silence the Southern opposition. So the only opposition the people heard in the South...was from the Northern States...Now it's the Red States vs the Blue states
The "New South" is trying to expand and do the same thing.
We can't defeat it.. from the outside.. we got to defeat it from the inside.
if Democrats truly believe this is not about ideology, but saving our democracy..Then they can easily understand what I am saying. That no ideology is worth winning... if it destroys our democracy..WE must destroy the current Republican party from the inside. If you haven't figured it out yet.. Trump has opened the door for that, there is no such thing as electing a Republican who is not a Trump sycophant. Trump doesn't give a shit about the Republican Party.

Trump attempted to destroy our democracy from the the top down
It didn't work..
Now Trump and the Republicans are trying to destroy our democracy from the bottom up..
Democrats are trying to destroy the Republican party

It is imperative to understand that saving the Reagan Republican Party.. will save our democracy..Democrats can't have it all

Needless to say, Democrats have strategy ...

Republican strategy looks to be ... when in power cut spending and steal money from the Treasury. When not in power ... ride in the back seat of the car and cry about culture.

Do you remember an old saying ... "you get with the system or the system will spit you out by the side of the road"

Trump didn't get with the system and that's exactly what happened. Trump not only lost but he IS a loser. Trump loses every day now, and because he won't go away he's going to keep on losing. Republican strategy sooner or later will be dump Trump. AND every beatdown is a celebration somewhere.

Keep on rocken in the free world,

CPAC Straw Poll voted 71% for Trump as 2024 presidential contender.......

The USA worship of wealth has taken over everything.....the legal bribery of politicians and government officials, the lax regulations of insider trading......the laws that allow the wealthy to get away with almost anything, including tax evasion and fraud, the tax laws that allow the wealthy to evade paying taxes, while the poor languish in prion for making a mistake on a ballot.......and can't even afford basic health care or medicines and state legislatures focus on making sure that poor mothers give birth to babies they can't afford to take care of........

It just keep getting increasingly lop-sided......

I think the next presidential election will be a democratic landslide.
People with any sense at all have to know what repubs represent.
Repubs are flirting with disaster by backing the lying king.
Party On!

The middle class will be getting stronger with representation & the corporate repubs are anti middle class. It becomes more obvious daily.

You are right..Republicans are their own worst enemies.. But the idea they now have is to keep the Red States Red. from the bottom up...
The plan is keep the Party in Power in those states...the idea is you don't elect a representative.. you elect a Party..The person running doesn't make a different. The party selects the candidate. The party controls the election and thus the party controls the candidate. Trump tried to do it on a National basis and failed.. The Republican party is doing it on a State and local basis
The Trump situation of trying to do that is OVER. Trump couldn't do it...But the Republican party can USE trump.. to set it up so the Party can do it.. not from the top down but the bottom up.

Think about this.....Republican degrade some of their own by calling them RINO's.. Someone needs to explain to me what that is.. other than propaganda..
I Know of No Democrat that isn't a DINO.. Every democrat, I know, is a Democrat in name only......

Voter suppression is voter suppression is voter suppression ... we see it, we know it, the world knows it, the birds crappen on your car know it.

Republican strategy hasn't change since Bush invaded Iraq. They have their own media ... so just lie about it .. that's the strategy.

It's not that simple...people need to have a reason to Lie..it's the truth one doesn't need a reason to tell... Trump is biggest liar of them all, and even he has a reason..

One must recognize the reasons for Trump lies and Republican lies are different..even though they appear the same.

Trump journey to power started with an understanding of Why Republican believed what they did,and did what they did.. Trump was able to personify the more deep rooted Republican feelings of the need to blame, redress, and retribution...and maneuver it for his own purposes. Once they believed he could give it to them...Trump own self serving purposes became mute and became symbiotic, an unwelcome necessity.

Well Trump's time is over.... now the Republicans have and understanding of Trumps reason for what he did it, how he did it, and for what purpose...
Republicans now are doing to Trump and Trump supporters what Trump did to them.....trying to maneuver it..... for their own purposes...their reason are little different... it's not only about power.. It's about survival. Trump supporters actually believe they can't do it without Trump. Republicans are trying to maneuver that belief..that those same supporters must now determine they can't do it without the Republican Party

Tell them what they imagine they want, create in them what you want, and show them how to get it...The LIE begins well before the lies are told.....

The more it is advertised they are trying to prevent certain people from voting.

The more the victim will be motivated to get out of the house & vote.
Another reason for a Dem. landslide in the next presidential election.

Repubs are still supporting bone spur & his demented ego.
People I know are tired of the insane BS & the next election will drive those fools so deep into the cellar it will take a new generation of yahoos for a repub to have a chance again.

The middle class is forming together & taking over.
That is what the corporate repubs know & fear.
Plus they may run bone spur a twice impeached, habitual lying one term loser next time----who thinks the U.S Government can be ran by daily TWEET! LOL
It is looking UP for the Dems. LOL
Party On!

Once the dominoes begin to fall, in the Red State legislatures..It's over for the Republican Party.
Trump is already done.. Stick a fork in him.

The State legislature control as a necessity, makes using Trump a necessity.. they can't win State legislatures, by condemning Trump.

America was never a Trump majority, but certain States were... the idea of possibly losing Arizona, Texas, and Georgia to Democrats.. sinks the ship.. Trump's ship has already sunk, but the Republican Party is trying to keeps theirs afloat. lies beget lies.. To keep the Republican party afloat they have to pretend Trump ship hasn't sunk.
It is that false pretension.. that pisses Trump off.. Is it that pretension Trump sees as being disloyal, It is that pretension in which Trump primary concern now is condemning member of his own party. it is obvious to Trump and the irony of trumpism..that the Republican party has no intention of saving him from his sinking ship..but saving themselves
Don't kid yourself If Republican believed they could do it without Trump, he'd be thrown under a Greyhound and pissed and shit on. Eventually that will happen, just not Today.

Democrats and liberals.. talk the game of "Saving our Democracy" that's a bunch of craps.. it's not about saving our democracy..is a call to arms, a battle cry, and a subversion..
like many Republicans.. they know not what they do..

But saving our democracy is not about beating a dead "horse with no name".

in our democracy.. you can't fight a political undermining and subversion and takeover...by being political.. this isn't about ideology or agenda.. making it so...... only feeds the beast.

How many times do you to hear that voter suppression is about people of color. And not realize that is political.

Voter suppression is about the opposition....not the color of one's skin.
Voter suppression is about the equality of the vote, not the equality of one's skin color
voter suppression is Un-American... yet imbedded in our psyche..Standing alone voter suppressions will fail... Adding color to it, only livens it up. Voter suppression fails when it's in both "Black and White", "rich and poor", "urban and rural', and Liberal and conservative.
Voter suppression when it become an indirect directive feeds our psyche.

It is simple.
When people are motivated they will find a way to vote. The repubs are doing great at motivating the Dems. while the old school repubs are in conflict with the new.

The economy is picking up again since we have actual leadership. The TV reality show government did not work. That is why they lost.
Yes they did loose. LOLOL
If they ever realize they LOST-----they may then examine WHY???? LOL
Party On!

while the old school repubs are in conflict with the new.

Trump is done.. Stick a fork in him..they know it..

But the conflict between old school and new school still exist to the detriment of the Republican Party.

The challenge for the Republican is how to end conflict, by bringing both sides together.

What they understand is that Republican, themselves can't do it..What can do it..is pulling the strings on Democrats to obtain an over-reaction.. Trump's lies about the overstepping of Democrats...need to become more of a truth and less of lie..
The way to end the conflict between Republicans is to try and make Democrats MORE socialist, more progressive,and more Liberal...So it's no longer is a lie..

The base idea of the Republicans fall into the same problem,regardless of the issue...It's Party over country... The partisanship is party over country..
Republicans, to make this country better will have to self sacrifice..They are unwilling to do that..Promoting this country is a detriment to the Republican party.
Having the power. didn't change that.... and will never change that.. they need an enemy to survive.. They need Democrats to see them as the enemy too. they bait democrats to make that happen.. Their goal is not to prove they are best for this country..their goal is to prove they are the least worst.
The Republican party has gone ALL-IN.. no do overs...no backing out now.

I think we could be mere months away from a violent uprising. If this Delta variant does the kind of damage I think it will that could be the match that lights the fire.

The way i see it... everybody now has three ways to get vaccinated,, and everybody will get vaccinated.

First you can take the shot...and Not get severely sick or die..

Second you can catch covid, survive, and build antibodies

Third you can catch covid and die

At this point it's a choice...So be it... It's part of a new thing, and a new century..that been growing..
What happens when humanity and technology..... confront evolution? It's seems strange to me..keeping alive that which will eventually kill you.. It's the irony of humanity..Let the SOB's Die.. if they don't kill you from this.. they will eventually find another way. It's the irony of Love and humanity...Love can exist on a one way street.. When Humanity can NOT

It's the new guidelines for my... Center for Dumbass Control.
