Democrats' 2022 midterm election scare tactics: this desperate move won't save them
Fox News ^ | 4/11/22 | Newt Gingrich

Posted on 04/11/2022 1:56:25 AM PDT by Libloather

Democrats are beginning to really worry about the 2022 elections. And they should.

**SNIP**

The odds are that the House Republicans will gain 25 to 70 seats as the voter tsunami builds in response to the economic, cultural and practical pain created by the Democrats’ policies.

Fox News reported on the scare tactic the Democrats think they will be forced into:

"MSNBC analyst John Heilemann revealed a ‘dark’ strategy Democrats are considering using to curb potential losses during the November midterm elections on ‘Deadline: White House’ Tuesday.

The only solutions that will alleviate the various crises Biden is overseeing would be the equivalent of ideological suicide.

"Heilemann said inflation is ‘psychologically the most devastating thing politically’ and said the key to mitigating losses, according to the strategy, was to make Donald Trump the face of the Republican Party and then harangue attacks against him as an undemocratic force in U.S. politics.

"‘They have to scare the crap out of [the Democratic base] and get them to come out,’ Heilemann said. ‘[The Democrats] can't motivate them on the basis of hope or their pocketbooks or any of these accomplishments. They have to scare the crap out of them.’"

**SNIP**

Yelling "Trump" does not switch votes from people who pay more than $90 to fill their gas tanks. It doesn’t move people who find the price of groceries skyrocketing. And it definitely doesn’t inspire those who worry about getting mugged, carjacked, raped or murdered.

Their super secret dark strategy is to attack Trump as un-democratic? I believe they may have tried that before, starting with the escalator.

Yeah but now they have Jan 6th to use in their twisted minds.

Should be able to counteract such nonsense with a simple “Trump gave us $1.89 gas prices”.

In a wave election, indiscriminate scare tactics commonly backfire because they also increase turnout by those who are against your candidates. The better approach for the Democrats would be to more tightly target the open seats and savable incumbents — and ruthlessly cut off support for candidates and incumbents who are failing.

It’s the STEAL.
It always has been.
They will serve it up via another enablement.
What will it be?, another scamdemic, or worse this time?
Desperate has motivators, cut them off will do a lot.
Term limits on everybody including staff that runs dc now.

I read a poll out yesterday that said 71% of those interviewed blame oil prices on Putin and the oil companies, not Biden. If people are that stupid, then the midterm elections will not be the runaway that many are predicting. Getting the “broken glass” Democrat base out to vote could change everything.

This reminds me of the eerie calm I noticed from certain sectors of the media and dem party leading up to election day in 2020. As if they were in the know about what was about to happen.

I suspect they will merely steal enough elections to maintain control. They got away with it in 2020. Nobody in authority lifted a finger to seriously question blatant fraud. They are emboldened to do it again.

I am highly skeptical of GOP gains in November for this very reason.

The voting will still be done on Dominion voting machines in 28 states.

How’d that strategy work out for Terry McAullife in blue Virginia?

Heilman develops his dark strategies in the closet with others of his milk.

Ooops meant ilk.

Unlike 1994 w/Gingrich’s Contract with America, the GOP today doesn’t have a platform at all; the best it can do is imply “vote for us because we aren’t rats.” Thin gruel indeed.

No thanks.

I’ll never vote rat, but I’ve been Charlie Browned too many times by the GOP.

As I've been saying - it's the same old "Russia Evil!! Trump Evil!!" narrative the Democrat/corporate/media establishment has been pushing non-stop, for YEARS. It worked well enough to cripple Mr. Trump's administration, and replace him with Diaper Joe; and the Dem attitude seems to be, "if it works don't fix it"...
