Former Rep. David Jolly (R-FL) points out that the Republican Party Agenda stands for nothing substantive for Americans, not even their voters. This opens the door for a huge 2022 Democratic win if Democrats and Progressives would lean into engaging the entire country in a robust and all-inclusive manner.
GOP agenda a 2022 Democratic win if we lean in
David Jolly explained the Republican agenda to Chris Hayes as follows.
Republicans don’t care about your public health. They don’t actually care about election integrity.” David Jolly Said. “They don’t actually care about the abortion issue. What they care about is winning elections. And what they know is that to win elections, you have to focus on wedge issues that we consider high-intensity low information.”
Jolly then went on to define the GOP issues.
“Elections are not going to be decided over the nuances of our policy in Afghanistan, over fuel standards for vehicles,” Jolly continued. “They’ve decided on these high-intensity low information wedge issues. So on abortion, Republicans don’t want you to have access to them. On guns, Republicans want you to have it. They’re going to tell you Democrats want to take it away. On COVID, Republicans are for your freedom, and on elections, Republicans don’t want black and brown people voting because it hurts Republicans’ chances to win. And that’s it. That’s all they’re selling, and the thread that keeps all that together is the demonization of the Left and that Democrats are the evil actors that are going to disrupt those wedge issues for you.”
And that is it. In other words, the Republican Party stands for nothing the average American citizen need. I hope some thoughts in the video that I think we should all consider winning big.
Some may consider my suggested engagement naive. Living in a very red area in a “red” state made an excellent testbed for my suggestions. It isn’t easy. But “It’s Worth It,” as I explain in my book by the same name.
