Indivisibles,
The new GOP Congress wasn’t even seated before its members demonstrated
that they are fundamentally incapable of governing. It took fifteen rounds
of voting just to elect a Speaker, and that was only after Kevin McCarthy
made huge concessions to the extremist holdouts in his conference. The
events of the last week have made it clear: The Republican House is
dysfunctional beyond repair and completely beholden to the most extreme,
MAGA Republican members of Congress.
The good news is that this doesn’t have to be our reality for long. Next
year, Republicans will have to face the voters, and between now and then,
it’s up to us to continually shine a light on their incompetence and
extremism.
This is especially true for the 18 House Republicans representing areas
Joe Biden won in 2020. These are some of the most vulnerable Republicans
in Congress, and we have to flip just five of these seats to retake the
House:

won: David Schweikert (AZ-01), Juan Ciscomani (AZ-06), John Duarte
(CA-13), David Valadao (CA-22), Mike Garcia (CA-27), Young Kim (CA-40),
Michelle Steel (CA-45), Don Bacon (NE-02), Nick LaLota (NY-01), George
Santos (NY-03), Anthony D’Esposito (NY-04), Mike Lawler (NY-17), Marc
Molinaro (NY-19), Brandon Williams (NY-22), Lori Chavez-DeRemer (OR-05),
Brian Fitzpatrick (PA-01), Jen Kiggans (VA-02).
A few things to know about these Republicans: They have wildly unpopular
ideas. They don’t want to talk about their unpopular ideas. They’ll
literally run away from voters to avoid questions about their unpopular
ideas.
Some members are Big Lie purveyors like Rep. Mike Garcia who voted against
certifying the 2020 election. Some of them are openly hostile to LGBTQ
rights like Rep. Steel who pulled her daughter out of college because she
believed she was “brainwashed” into supporting marriage equality. And then
there’s Rep. George Santos (if that’s even his real name), who won his
seat by shamelessly lying about his education, career, family, religion,
and so much more.
Whether these Republicans are out-and-out MAGA extremists or just
MAGA-lite, they’re all accountable for the chaos and attacks on our rights
coming from the Republican House.
How we beat them: Get them on record, focus on their unpopular ideas and
tie them to controversies, use humor and creativity to bring people over
to our side, and overall just make the Republican brand absolutely toxic.
Indivisible groups have been doing this work for the last 6+ years, and
many groups are already taking action to highlight the extremism of their
Republican representatives. We know we can retake the House with this
strategy, but it will only work if Indivisibles have the resources they
need to execute it. [ [link removed] ]If you’re ready to make this Republican majority an

Republicans have already shown us that their majority is fragile,
incompetent, and extreme. Over the next two years, we’re going to make
sure that’s how voters remember them.
