Yesterday’s grossly misreported abortion ruling out of Arizona has Republicans panicked that the baby-snuffers on the left are going to manufacture outrage and defeat Republicans in November. Just last night ABC, CBS, and NBC chose to lead their primetime news hours with abortion coverage instead of imminent threats to Israel, or the US economy’s deepening inflation problems.
Guys, please take a deep breath.
Anytime abortion is in the news, it inevitably generates the most passionate abortion supporters on the left to engage with politics in a visceral way that is dutifully covered by the media. But the issue that supersedes this is an economy that Joe Biden tells Americans is good, but their lived experience says otherwise.
Consider these facts: 8 million+ Americans are working multiple jobs to keep food on the table. Homeownership is at its least affordable point since the inflation crisis of the 70s. Car insurance and eldercare hit record price increases within the past two months. United Way’s ALICE framework says that a record 36 million American households are at risk of falling into poverty due to the affordability crisis.
If Republicans want to win in November, it’s not complicated. They need to focus on the economy. Watch:
It's 1980 again. Reagan fixed the economy in 4 years, but he had a functional GOP and Democrats recognized their constituents were benefitting and they could take credit.
Trump is no Reagan, the GOP is dysfunctional, and the progressive's have captured the Democrats. Sure, traditional Democrat constituents are moving to the GOP but the elected Democrat are mostly progressives that have the backing of their progressive enclaves.
Trump can't fix this in 4 years and the left/media will engage in 4 year presidential campaign to ensure everyone knows the clif we have been falling off of for the last 4 years was really the Republicans fault, so elect a Democrat in '28.
If that happens any gains Trump and the disfuncional GOP are able to make will be undone in spades.
It is and will be the economy. The high paid Gov't workers and the Rich Penthouse pundits are immune. It is approaching 4-15-2024 and Tax filing deadline. Millions of gals of water will flow under the bridge, and the tides will ebb and flow many times until Nov 5, 2024. The economy will tank big time by OCT. DT will win, the Dems will go ballistic, attempt to remove the Electoral College and bring in majority rule ( Their Democracy). Much chaos karma will be wrought, and bring Un-Civil W II> Selah.
