This reeks of symbolism over substance. If Democrats did anything good, it would be blatantly apparent. Republicans are the ones that have a messaging problem. They are a bunch of pussies without the backbone call out Democrats and provide real solutions to problems - like radically cutting government spending on socialism that causes inflation.
“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.
