      Every single talking point Republicans are using was used in 2016. They offer no solutions and no new ideas. Essentially they are saying, all those promises we failed to follow through on we are making again.

        And they won’t actually fulfill them. One thing they learned from the abortion thing is that it’s bad to actually finish the job, because then your side gets complacent, while the other side gets more energized. It’s much better to promise a thing that can never be fully achieved, and then blame the other side when it doesn’t happen. That drives the acceptable level of outrage to keep your side continually engaged.

          I’ve always believed overturning Roe v Wade would be the biggest mistake the religious right ever made.

          yeah abbot literally blamed the deaths of 2 people in the rio grande this week on “Biden’s open border policy”

          Mind boggling especially considering this is like a 40 yr problem at this point and republicans have done literally 0 to solve it.

        those talking points resonate with their base though - why change a winning strategy?

      Remember when Arrested Development had the GWB stand in guy driving the stairs around a fake wall in the desert?
