It’s the same GOP playbook we’re used to. They know the public doesn’t side with them, so they change the subject.
First it was the border, now it’s critical race theory. Republicans won’t engage with popular legislation passed by Democrats, so they try to drum up issues to distract the public.
Democrats passed an economic stimulus package and put money directly into bank accounts. Republicans opposed it.
Democrats have worked tirelessly to save thousands of lives by increasing access to and promoting Covid-19 vaccines. Republicans are still spreading lies and doubt about science.
Democrats are pushing an infrastructure package to fix our nation’s roads and bridges and create millions of jobs. Republicans are fighting to make that package smaller everyday.
All of these issues are popular with the American public. Republicans know it, so they invent issues like critical race theory to divide the public and distract them from their unpopular stances.
