Actually, Being Anti-Trump Is Democrats’ Best Messaging
Rantt Media ^ | May 18, 2018 | Bob Cunningham

Posted on 05/18/2018 12:52:08 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

From your favorite random Twitter accounts to the talking heads on cable news networks, we all hear the same thing: Democrats don’t have a real message. What do Democrats stand for? They can’t just be anti-Trump!

Well, no, they can’t just be anti-Trump — but it’s a damn good start.

Democrats have a message that resonates with most Americans. Affordable healthcare and college, better public education, making the wealthy pay their share, helping elevate women, people of color, and the LGBT+ community, protecting the social safety net, prison reform, drug reform, immigration reform, and stricter gun control laws are all things that at least a plurality of Americans favor in one way or another, and these are all issues Democrats tackle at the local, state, and national levels.

That also happens to be everything Donald Trump — and his Republican enablers — stand against.

Since Trump took office, the GOP has made healthcare more expensive by undercutting Obamacare, let for-profit colleges off the leash, encouraged the rise of “faith-based” and charter schools to syphon money from public schools, cut taxes for the extremely wealthy, attacked the rights of women to control their own bodies, aligned themselves with literal NAZIs, attacked transgender troops and removed protections for gay people, advocated for work requirements for Medicaid, fought its expansion, and actively advocate for cutting social programs to pay for the aforementioned tax cuts for the wealthy, allowed the cancerous private prisons to flourish, advocated for the death penalty for drug dealers and addicts, banned people from Muslim majority countries, demonized people from Latin America and refugees in general, and have aligned themselves with the NRA, a group that exists to sell as many guns as possible while masquerading as a civil rights group....

Yep, Trump is outspoken in his desire for unaffordable health care, worse public education, protecting the wealthy from paying their fair share, diminishing women and people of color, etc. etc. That what nobody heard him say or do ever, but, hey, let’s pretend.

I think it’s the liberal equivalent of motherhood and apple pie. Except it’s the antimatter equivalent of motherhood and apple pie.

helping elevate women, people of color, and the LGBT+ community, protecting the social safety net, prison reform, drug reform, immigration reform, and stricter gun control laws are all.................

Oh yeah. It resonates all right. Resonates like stepping on a Lego with bare feet and then banging your shin on the sharp corner of the coffee table...and then getting attacked by a Velociraptor in your living room.

Affordable healthcare - ObamaCare: Epic Fail!
Affordable college - Yeah, right. More federal dollars so tuition can rise higher
better public education - Seriously?? They think that public education is better grumpy old white ladies ran things?
making the wealthy pay their share - Yay. Socialism. Just like the workers’ utopia, Venezuela!
helping elevate women - Elevating them above men to destroy the family and children.
helping elevate people of color - As long as they stay on that darned plantation! Boy, I say boy, don’t you be votin’ Conservative!
helping elevate the LGBT+ community - Because mental disease needs to be normalized!
protecting the social safety net - Help! I’m 23 with a college degree and I’ve fallen and can’t get up!
prison reform - Open the gates and let the murderers run free so we have space for thought crimes.
drug reform - Is that illegal drug reform or prescription drug reform? It’s hard to keep up with their “reforms”.
immigration reform - Like a country needs borders?!? Everyone is an American and the white folks are paying for them!
stricter gun control laws - Come. And. Take. Them! Some times, ya gotta get plumb mad dog mean.

I’m willing to bet this writer genuinely suffers from severe clinical depression and anxiety, also suffers from psychotic delusions. Most leftards are mentally unstable, but this guy is extreme—he sees nothing but blackness and cataclysmic doom everywhere because Donald Trump is POTUS and he’s keeping his campaign promises. I’ll bet the writer is gay/transgender/some freakish combination thereof.

If things are so bad under Trump, the only real solution for this Rat Tard is offing himself. Seriously.

Thank you Lord. May they continue with the above messages, and and continue to lose because of these inane/childish dreams.

So, Liberal Dudes like the Woman on top? I guess they want them to do all the work, like the Cooking and Laundry too.

After 8 years of the above agenda, what kind of shape was this Republic in? Can you say in the $hitter?

A “Barf Alert” might be indicated here.

Especially where the evil Trump “has withdrawn protections for gay people”.

Yeah, right. Faggies are the most fiercely protected class there is, right behind muzzies.

Geez, I want Fauxcahontas Warren to get the nomination!

Open borders, raise taxes and impeach Trump. Sounds like a winning strategy to me.
