A challenge to illustrate the difficulites of breaking through the right-wing misinformation machine

[Buzz cook]

66. Off the top of my head.

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: ??? Trump's tariffs caused inflation, we fix inflation by ending them.

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 help honest immigration and send dishonest ones back.

Jobs & the economy
Problem: The gig economy sucks! Where are the good jobs with great benefits?
Republican solution: When all the immigrants are gone, you'll have great jobs with great benefits
Democratic solution: ???Unions make good jobs with benefits. Raise the minimum wage.

Abortion
Problem: Women are killing their babies for fun!
Republican solution: We will force them to stop killing their babies.
Democratic solution: ???Free contraception ends unnecessary abortions.

Healthcare
Problem: The price of drugs is too high!
Republican solution: Obamacare is to blame, so we'll finally get rid of it.
Democratic solution: ???Volume buying lowers prices. Single payer does that.

Climate & the environment
Problem: The government is going to force us all to buy electric cars!
Republican solution: Drill, baby, drill. Climate change isn't real anyway.
Democratic solution: ???Government gives you money to get efficient vehicles.

National security
Problem: We're giving billions of dollars to Ukraine even though they started the war with Russia!
Republican solution: We'll stop funding Ukraine, and pull out of warmongering NATO as well.
Democratic solution: ???We give surplus equipment to Ukraine and fuck Putin. Win win.

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: ???Fuck the rich and corporations. You know they don't give a shit about you, never have.

Civil rights
Problem: White people are being discriminated against!
Republican solution: We'll end wokism, DEI, and affirmative action.
Democratic solution: ???We'll get you a good job!

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'll keep education to the highest American standards.

Of course several of these topics would be helped if media said republicans are lying instead of "views differ". It'd also be nice if democrats got some of their talking points into the conversation.
