The Dems need to shout it from the rooftops, and say: "That’s fine Kevin, but you also are going to
try to take away people’s healthcare, including protections for previous conditions, if you retake the
majority. How many times did you vote to do just that?"
This is a world-view matter. People can be made to fear immigrants and other external threats. However, when there is an ACTUAL, in their face threat to their own health and that of their family, it is an entirely different matter. It drives me nuts the the Dems are missing this winning strategy, which has worked in the past. Sure, point out that the infrastructure bill(s) will help everyone, BUT that’s a way down the road… it takes time to mobilize even when projects are “shovel ready.”
Pull the veil back on what these people really do plan to do if they get elected, things they won’t really talk about now because their playbook is one of setting up false arguments about things (oh dear, there are books in the library that people won’t like, etc.). They really will go after the Affordable Care Act yet again, as well as Medicare and Social Security. These are the main, if not only arguments that the Dems can really make effectively.

That’s why i ‘love’ this notion that everything we’re seeing is new.
There’s a list of names of guys who were censored for statements or participation.
History is immediate, soooooooooo

If the Republicans re-take the House in 2022 McCarthy is a dead man walking, the bad news is you will have the equivalent of a bunch of 12 year olds controlling the House.

He’s certainly got Greene in his corner:
Asked about what it would take for her to back McCarthy in the race for House speaker if the GOP takes back the chamber, Greene complained that the House minority leader hasn’t “fought” hard enough for her or for Gosar. “What’s been particularly problematic is that there has been no willingness to fight for people like me.”
The only thing she apparently has right is that McCarthy is a useless empty suit. He’s too mealy-mouthed to condemn or defend Greene and Gosar’s hate-speech. He doesn’t want to be a villain for the DC-Conventional-Wisdom Circuit or for the MAGAts, so he doesn’t do anything, which highlights his utter lack of qualification for his leadership position.

One could argue that the 12-year-olds are controlling the House now by obstructing everything the Democrats are trying to accomplish.
Like infrastructure?

“This isn’t about threats, but it’s about hate. We hate anything and anyone that has anything to do with the survival of democracy. We want autocracy, we want our lord and king back and we want everyone to be good christians and hate!” McCarthy added.

it’s about holding people accountable,” McCarthy added.
For all cases where “people” does not include Congressman (R).
But we’re talking about a political party that thinks impeaching a president for committing high crimes and misdemeanors is unconstitutional.

Covid-19. And we know how that worked out with the right wing. Threat to their health would be roving gangs of punk young Republicans beating gop voters faces to pulp and the victims would claim they deserved it.
Seriously, I don’t think that imminent threats affect these folks if it’s liberals and progressives raising the alarm.

Then that’s a public fault.
And we’re going to strip committee assignments from Rep Omar because of her support for Sharia law, her marriage to her brother, her un-American headdresses, and her funny accent. And from Reps Jayapal and Tlaib because we can’t pronounce their names. And from AOC because she’s a trashy you know what.
The never anticipate that the damage might be to their own lives. And even when it is, they’ll continue voting for the vandals.
