“We have an election coming up in two months and instead of focusing on 2022 and reminding voters of the Dem’s horrible record...”

***********

The Republicans are not focusing on anything. They have no agenda. They are not offering any solutions. Their only “appeal” is that they’re not Democrats.

Its surprising that anyone votes for such a soulless bunch of losers.

I've always thought that's an unfair attack on conservatives, and a bit of a trap if we buy into it. By definition, most of us conservatives don't believe in government solutions in the first place. We believe that people would be better off with much less government intervention, and in particular the federal government taking less of a role in their lives. So, attacking Republicans for not proposing federal solutions to problems is accepting the Democrat framing of the issue. We should not do that.

Opposing Democratic efforts for the federal government, and government in general, to take a greater role in our lives is having an agenda, and it is a solution.

Now, I suppose that may be a point of view that is common among small government conservatives, but isn't as common among conservatives populists. But just because a smaller government approach doesn't address the issues in the way populists might prefer doesn't mean it is not addressing the issues.

All of us conservatives should be rallying around Trump. If a Democrat had been robbed like Trump was in ‘20 my God, it would be a locked step march back to the WH.
