An article The Hill posted makes clear the goal of the fascist GOP (FGOP) to destroy Biden and make Americans hate him. Their goal is not be principled opposition that acts in good faith based on facts or sound reason. The FGOP is just loaded with ill-will, poison and partisan hate. The Hill writes:
Republicans are struggling to land attacks against President Biden as they grapple with how to win back power in Washington next year.
Biden is proving to be an elusive cipher for Republicans to successfully message against nearly 100 days into his administration, keeping a relatively low profile and refusing to engage in the day-to-day verbal sparring that has consumed Washington in recent years.
It presents a challenge that, GOP senators acknowledge, they aren’t hitting the mark on.“We need to get better at it. I don't think sometimes our messaging is as sharp as it should be because a lot of the things they're doing are things that are popular—when you’re spending money, you’re popular,” Sen. John Thune (S.D.), the No. 2 Senate Republican, said about Republicans’ success in defining Biden.
Asked how his party was doing, Sen. Mike Braun (R-Ind.) replied: “Poorly.”
“I don’t think we’ve done a very good job because he’s getting away with defining himself and rolling out this stuff that we’re borrowing every penny for it, and the public is buying it,” Braun said. “We’ve got to find ways to articulate and scuffle in a better way, and I don’t know that we’ve found that.”
Republicans are betting that voters will ultimately turn against Biden’s trillion-dollar spending.
“His tone is moderate and he’s an affable person, he’s a likeable individual and a lot of us know him, have relationships with him and it’s probably harder to attack somebody who is relatable and likeable,” Thune said.
Well, there you have it. That Biden, the likeable guy, is doing things that are popular, including spending money. The FGOP knows all about that money and debt thing. That was the main point of their 2017 tax cut for rich people law that adds about $1 trillion/year to federal debt. The stench of FGOP hypocrisy. There's nothing quite like it.
And, when FGOP Senator Braun says the FGOP needs to find ways to articulate and scuffle in a better way, we all know what that means. More lies, slanders and crackpottery are coming your way real soon.
