And if they stick to this message, they will win. The GOP has NO answer to this. Reagan did. Bush 41 did. W sort of did, but no longer.[/quote]

I like how this kind of turns the whole freedom message around on the Republicans. They claim to be for freedom but their actions amount to suppressing freedom for people who don’t agree with them.

I think Republicans are going to try to make the trans stuff a big issue to try to sway male independent voters. I hope men don’t fall for it. That should be very far from the top of our concerns as a country. Democrats need to stop making it a big thing too. Be supportive but don’t put it front and center. It’s not a winning issue.[/quote]

The only way the Rs win is if they succeed at fearmongering based on immigration, trans issues, and crime.

The best way for Ds to anticipate that game plan and deflate such efforts is to not make these issues the top priority—particularly in a nonsensical liberal  fringe way—and instead focus on the economy, freedom, healthcare, etc. Only talk about equality in a matter of fact way that makes clear everyone should be treated with dignity…and then move on. Don’t drill down to talking points that put a group on a pedestal because that risks alienating others. Talk about immigration in a way that makes clear we all want border security while also emphasizing how a path to citizenship for those already here makes communities better for everyone.

Re: crime - don’t say defund the police. Blame crime on urban flight, poverty, and mental illness. Pin the urban flight on Rs running for tax haven states instead of strengthening communities. Tie it back to making the wealthy pay their fair share precisely to fund police, fire depts and schools. Remind everyone what Reagan did by decimating mental health (which admittedly needed to be blown up and reimagined). Offer solutions—including for the drug crisis. Treatment.

And FFS, recognize the global threat we have at the moment and make clear we will remain the strongest country in the world. Beyond our military, we need to rein in our economy and corporations to ensure we are producing what we need in America. [/quote]
