Leaders of this iteration of the GOP are smug in their nihilism, the title “party of No” earned as then-Sen Obama was elected Pres. Problem: once obstruction is a strategy, a shift to doing something positive is difficult. That’s why we must recognize the threat this poses. 1/5

GOP policies: tax breaks 4 vulture capitalists that get fat fr destruction of profitable businesses; tax breaks for the already-rich; eliminating regs that protect the environment; overturning Roe v Wade; & so on. Nothing is positive. They don’t build things. They tear down or bitch. 2/5

Polls indicate people have begun to waver in the wake of Justice Alito’s gutting of Roe & fret about the economy. But voters should not look to this iteration of the GOP for any help on the economy the GOP created: 2017-21 had $7 trillion in new debt & 2.6 million jobs lost. 3/5

Bush I and II hurt the economy. Economic philosophies of this iteration of the GOP are derived from a joke, drawn by Arthur Laffer, on a cocktail napkin. “Trickle down economics” works, but only as a campaign slogan for candidates from this iteration of the GOP. 4/5

We can afford neither nihilists as leaders of one of the 2 major parties, nor false equivalencies controlling our political discourse. I’m Mark Small: pro-voting rights, pro-legalization of drugs, pro-choice GOP nominee for IN House Distr 86. I approve of this blog. Hell, I wrote it. 5/5
