“Republicans are the ones that have a messaging problem.”
GOP has at least 2 problems. Its leadership and half of its elected body at federal level are there for the ride. They have no ideas and if they did they have no interest in governing nor an ability to govern. They are very comfortable being assistant demonikraps. So you are right, they have a messaging problem in that they have no message.
Somewhere between a 1/3 - 1/2 of the rest are trying to do something and are either being targeted for take-down (e.g. Gaetz and Hawley) and/or being censored via the demonikrap-givernment-media-big tech-university alliance (Greene, Johnson, Marshburn, Kennedy). Compare level and type of the 1st year of coverage for AOC vs the first year coverage for Greene as another example. The censorship not only keeps the GOP fighters from being heard in the political arena thus keeping many people uniformed, but also for people that consider themselves Informed” or “interested”, many here FReepers, it demoralizes them to where they turn against the GOP.
“it demoralizes them to where they turn against the GOP”
I didn’t get demoralized by leftie propaganda. I got demoralized by watching the GOP take every victory we gave them for 25 years and accomplish almost nothing with it.
Let’s see if I can remember anything good they have done. Well, Dubya gave me a tax cut (that expired for no good reason). Besides that, we won a few victories in the courts on the 2nd Amendment and rolling back some laws against abortion restrictions. In the courts, not Congress, so I can’t really give much credit to the GOP on that, since all the heavy lifting was done by political advocacy groups.
That’s about all I can think of that I have seen them actually accomplish in 25 years. Should I not be demoralized?
