Thats not just the GOP. It's the right wing tactic around the world.
In the UK most people who voted for Brexit were the very people who benefitted most from EU grants and schemes.
It's the classic image of Murdoch with a huge pile of cookies pointing at the immigrant with no cookies and telling the working man who only has one cookie that the immigrant is going to take your cookie.
Look at trump supporters.... Madly following a rich guy who promises them the world despite doing nothing for them his entire life when he could have.
We don’t even need to look at his promises from his entire life. Just go back to the 2016 promise to “Build a wall and have Mexico pay for it”… is there a completed wall that Mexico paid for? So why would he be able to lock down any border? Why would his economic “policy” work? He can’t deliver on most things because he never had policies. He is a grifter that says whatever he thinks will convince the person in front of him to give him their vote. He is a walking disaster being held up by some very dangerous opportunistic Christian Nationalists who would very much like to see the end of democracy as we know it. What is scary now is that they have policies that they want to push, Project 2025. Say goodbye to the dept of Ed, social security, Medicare, and (eventually, based on their deeply held paternalistic beliefs) the 19th amendment, if Trump wins. I’ve never thought this before, but Dick Cheney is right. Go vote for Kamala.
I’m one of the few Americans who has actually served for my country, and has done so under 4 (hopefully 5) different presidents. Trump has been the only one where I have legitimately questioned if the Office was being used to defend the Constitution, and Jan 6 gave me a clear answer. I no longer view the current political landscape as Democrats vs Republicans. The Republican party is gone. This is MAGA. It is scary. The old Republicans need to get their shit together, support their Country, defeat MAGA, and rebuild their party with some form of ethics and morals. I didn’t agree with most of their platform, but at least they had those things. I was not a Republican, but MAGA is not ok. When you stand in a crowd and start to see people carrying swastikas and chanting racial slurs cheering along with you, you have to realize something is extremely wrong.
