The Republican Utopia

There's no confusion. Conservatives want federal funds, too. They just want the sound bite that allows them to pretend to be fiscally responsible and against those tax-and-spend liberals. 

 

But once the money is available, they go running back to their district crowing at how great it is that she secured these funds for her constituents.

 

And the constituents won't bat an eye. Because they want that money, too. They all just live in a pretend world where libruls = bad and they're the conservative heroes.

@knapplcsaid Republicans equate infrastructure spending to socialism.  That’s simply not true.  We all understand that.  
 

To refute my point, @commandobrought up a congresswomen referencing the reconciliation bill, which had much much much more than just infrastructure (see Joe Manchin) and that was her cry of “Marxism”.  Again, not the infrastructure spending.   

 

Republicans equate anything Democrats propose as socialism. We all understand that. 

 

Only 13 Republicans voted for the infrastructure bill they stripped down, and those Republicans were largely greeted as treasonous Rinos. 

 

Marxism is the more extreme comparison, and it does not reflect the larger reconciliation bill, which would not have been considered Marxist or even inflammatory in previous eras that Republicans tend to remember as "Great."

the republican agenda

Sununu, who Republicans were hoping to see run for Senate in the Granite State, explained he decided to instead run for reelection for governor after hearing the party's plan for the Senate for the next two years.

"They were all, for the most part, content with the speed at which they weren't doing anything. It was very clear that we just have to hold the line for two years. OK, so I'm just going to be a roadblock for two years. That's not what I do," Sununu said, noting Republicans were trying to wait until they would hopefully win the presidency in 2024.

Not true.  I get that it’s a cool thing to say, but it’s wise to not speak opinions in absolutes.  

 

It is literally the GOP messaging template for every local, state and national election.

 

If I give up the words "literally" and "every" how much difference does it really make?

I haven’t checked the template for every local, state and national race, but Republicans do counter the notion that is the modern day Democrat talking point of cradle to the grave government handout and control of peoples lives.  Combined with a super charged tax the “rich” policy, it does lend to a socialistic view of government.  
 

I wonder if we should check the template for every local, state, and national Democrat politician running against a Republican.  It seems to have quite a bit of Republican’s are racist, they are gonna take away your Medicare, they are gonna take away your social security, they are gonna take away your right to vote feel.  Of course non of those are true, but it plays well to the craziness of the base, and attempts to scare the independent voter

You don't have to check. The Dem template remains fear of Donald Trump and the crazies who want to overthrow our democracy.

Well that’s a relief.  I’m glad we don’t have to put up with the other BS arguments like the race card, Medicare and social security this election cycle then.
