How does the Republican Party do so well by never talking about the "issues"?

30. IT'S CULT BEHAVIOR

United by a few themes, starting with racism, and based on guilt, for supporting gazillionaires, who are just using them.

There is vast contradiction in this all being against their own interest and the shameful use of "religion" as cover for base and hideous behavior that no "Good Shepherd" I ever learned about would advocate or even tolerate.

Similar behavior is found in "addictive systems" as Anne Wilson Schaef writes about, including finding (our) society as an addictive system.

So there you are: a cult turned against its own interest, whipped up with base and addictive patterns, by clever manipulators.

Have you seen this pattern before? How many HUNDREDS of times?

Now, Jaime Harrison of DNC has come up with a slogan that encompasses all this without the $20 words.

I ENCOURAGE ALL TO READ AND HIT THE NAIL ON THE HEAD

Democratic National Committee Chair Jaime Harrison on Wednesday offered a particularly apt summation of Republicans on MSNBC's Morning Joe.

“It is a party built on fraud, fear and fascism," Harrison said. "They don’t deserve to be in power.”

The three Fs—Fraud, Fear, and Fascism—are a perfect alliteration for the GOP. The fact that it could fit on a bumper sticker is also a notable advancement for Democratic messaging.

Culling Republicans down to a sticky umbrella message about the pervasive corruption pulsing through the GOP would be super helpful for Democrats.
