Apocalypse now: Democrats embrace a dark midterm message
Washington Post (democracy dies with democrats) via MSN ^ | 10/02/22 | Yasmeen Abutaleb

Democrat Max Frost, running for U.S. Congress in Florida, has said Republicans like Gov. Ron DeSantis are trying to build “right-wing fascist power.” Rep. Pat Ryan, a New York Democrat, says America faces “a coordinated domestic attempt to undermine our Constitution.”

**SNIP**

Republicans insist that the November elections remain a referendum on Biden. The GOP holds a sizable advantage on issues like the economy and crime, according to a Washington Post-ABC News poll, and Democrats are more trusted to handle abortion and climate change.

“Talking about January 6th and whether we have a democracy next year is a really important issue in Washington, D.C. But it’s not an important issue to voters in the real world,” said Corry Bliss, a Republican strategist working on races across the country. “In the real world, voters care about the price of groceries, the price of gas, being able to walk down the street and feel safe.”

A Sept. 9-12 Fox News poll found that 59 percent of registered voters are “extremely” concerned about inflation and higher prices, and those voters prefer the Republican candidate for Congress.

In addition, while Biden’s job rating has improved - 42 percent approve of his performance and 53 percent disapprove, according to a Post average of polls - it is still underwater and could drag down Democratic candidates.

Beyond that, the Democrats’ newly dark message is a gamble. Biden is trying to draw a delicate distinction by blasting “MAGA Republicans” and has said he is not talking about all Republicans, noting he can still work with many of them. But GOP leaders say the president is simply calling all of them fascists.

At a recent rally, Trump suggested that Biden was branding Trump supporters “enemies of the state.” Then he added, “He’s an enemy of the state...”

And the fact that they want to keep their “Democracy” - mob rule.

Someone needs to remind Americans that MAGA is the constitutional norm and everything to the left of it is radical.

Build fascist power? Right. Build a FREE state for businesses and the people of Florida against the grain of the constant yammering of those state and federal leaders who “demand by law” that everyone comply will their orwelian dictates and then get called a “fascist”? C,mon man!

The day these lefttards can explain how they equate the "small government" conservatives right with their own variety of nightmarish communism posing as totalitarian fascism should be an interesting moment.

And until they can justify stating it, they should be flushed for suggesting the idea, twice, into the the abyss for the shyte they are.

Democrats now seem to be all hair-on-fire, screaming, panic throwers. Just the kind of person we want to elect to public office.

If conservatives don’t start taking control of the narrative and start using tough language to describe these radical left wing fascists they will lose big. Genocide will be the conservatives future.

The establishment GOP is cautious and doesn’t want to anger their Democrat friends. Then maybe the people lack the ability to figure things out no matter what.

We are usually the dark messages. They’re stealing from us and I don’t like it. We got a lot of wins from talking about crime and the economy and how negative they are. I don’t like that they’re stealing from our theme.

“If conservatives don’t start taking control of the narrative and start using tough language to describe these radical left wing fascists they will lose big.”

Exactly. I’ve been listening to these Leftist Dems howl about “extremist MAGA Republicans” for months now and I’m baffled by the lack of a hard response to it.

The Dems are the party of:

Unlimited taxpayer financed abortion on demand right up until the moment of birth.

Destroying the energy infrastructure that literally keeps 330,000,000 people alive while they claim to be able to control the weather of an entire planet.

Allowing millions of illegal aliens to pour across our borders every year without the slightest effort to stop or even slow it down.

Refusing to prosecute vicious criminals who are committing record numbers of murders, robberies, rapes, violent assaults, and other crimes all across the country.

Absolutely refusing to stop the tons of Chinese made poison coming across an open border that’s killing tens of thousands of Americans annually.

Defending the chemical and surgical mutilation of kids in Grade School without the knowledge or consent of the parents and calling it “sound medical care”.

Accusing the parents who try to stop it by protesting at local school board meetings “terrorists”.

And they have the balls to call us extreme? This election should be a walk in the park for the Republican Party. It shouldn’t even be close. They should be running ads in every single Congressional district tying every single Democrat to this insane and dangerous agenda.

But they’re not. They’re too busy calling members of their own party “extreme”, including the former President and several of the candidates he’s supporting this election cycle.

It’s absolutely infuriating.

Or maybe they are complicit and really hope the democrats succeed while they pretend to care.

Right now, all I see is Republican will not allow abortion.
Since we are pro-life, it obviously does not work for us.
But in general, it is a shame that there is a political party running mainly on killing babies.
The Nazi term is overused, but it kind of applies here.
