(26,314 posts)Inflation/prices
Problem: Inflation is out of control!
Republican solution: Tariffs on foreign imports will force made-in-the-USA products, lowering prices.
Democratic solution: Inflation has been defeated. Now combating price gouging.
Immigration
Problem: Dirty hordes of violent illegal immigrants are stampeding across the border!
Republican solution: We'll round up all the immigrants and send them back where they came from.
Democratic solution: We will enforce our borders not increase the cost of groceries.
Taxes & government spending
Problem: My taxes are too high, and I don't get enough benefits!
Republican solution: Savings from corporate tax cuts will flow directly to you, and the immigrants are taking your benefits.
Democratic solution: Your taxes are too high so we are going to cut the hell out of them. The wealthy will pay for it.
Civil rights
Problem: White people are being discriminated against!
Republican solution: We'll end wokism, DEI, and affirmative action.
Democratic solution: We present the American Cultural Preservation Act which will ensure all Americans are treated equally from being awarded government contracts to truth in history. (Actual contents end up being in large part the ERA codified with the voting rights act while eliminating the lies taught in right wing dictated schools).
Education
Problem: Teachers are changing our kids' genders and making them read porn!
Republican solution: We'll get rid of trans people and all the porno schoolbooks.
Democratic solution: We will ban all school sex changes with a 20 year prison sentence as the penalty.
