House Democrats will cut taxes for working families and middle class Americans.

Extreme MAGA Republicans will cut taxes for their well-connected donors.

They fight for the privileged few.

We fight for the people.

3. I suppose they were fortune tellers, Catholic priests influencing voters

The Know Nothing movement is remembered for this theme because Protestants feared that Catholic priests and bishops would control a large bloc of voters.
In most places, the ideology and influence of the Know Nothing movement lasted only one or two years before it disintegrated due to weak and inexperienced local leaders, a lack of publicly proclaimed national leaders, and a deep split over the issue of slavery. In parts of the South, the party did not emphasize anti-Catholicism as frequently as it emphasized it in the North and it stressed a neutral position on slavery, but it became the main alternative to the dominant Democratic Party.

2. This year GOPs at all levels of government have made it clear they have no interest is solving the country's problems

They are running for election on those problems. They raise money on those problems. In many cases Republicans have caused those exact problems by refusing to legislate.

Repukes don't believe that government is helpful; when they do legislate, they craft bills in such a way as to keep the government from being optimally helpful, usually in favor of profit optimization.

For them all government=bad, all companies=good.

They believe a company can do no wrong and the government can do no right. This is what they've trained to see.

And they have a Supreme Court which will continue to move us that way no matter what the electorate has to say.
