Crime and Gas! Republicans push Fear & Anger for the 2022 elections.

'Belive a Crackerhead' polishing his snub-nosed phallus
In a unoriginal rip-off of the apocryphal Khrushschev joke of The Two Letters, the Republicans run with the strategy of; blame everything on Biden and the Democrats.  Then continue to blame everything on Biden and the Democrats. 

The Republican 2022 election game plan is simple, obvious, and most disheartening, effective.  Frighten people with crime and anger them over the price of gas. 

You can see this strategy of Fear & Anger in everything Republicans talk about;  Education (Fear: They are indoctrinating you children into woke gay CRT).  Immigration (Anger: Those people aren't following "the rules" they way your grandparents did).  Be afraid or Be angry are the only things Republicans tell the American people. 

Because, sadly, Republicans have to offer nothing else to offer the American people.  Nothing.  No hope.  No future.  No vision.  No ideas.  Just Fear & Anger.  Because Republicans hate America.  The GQP hate an America that offers people choices and protections.  For 90 years Republicans have been trying to undo FDR's New Deal,  LBJ's Great Society, every small victory Democratic Presidents, Congress', and Supreme Court ruling which have made life a little better in the Untied States.

Undoing the Progressive Era is succinctly captured in the Republican 2022 Legislative Agenda, "Commitment to America";  the America which Republicans are talking about, is one in which workers, women and non-white people have No Rights.  And Government's monopoly on force is used to quell all domestic dissent at home and open up foreign markets for exploitation.

Unfortunately, the latest polling seems to indicate Republicans are poised to regain control of the House and Senate and possibly various levels of power in State governments.  Every time a Republican speaks, every debate they engage in, as we approach the 2022 elections Republicans demonstrate the abject vile hatred they have for Americans.  Despite everything the Republicans have done and the stated GOP goals of eliminating Social Security, Medicare, and curtailing all manner of aid and assistance to Working Class Americans, White people seemingly don't care.  It must be that while white people know Republican policies will demonstrably hurt them and their families, they believe Republicans will hurt those people even more.

Republicans have given up on the concept of the United States and want to replace the Nation with a facsimile.  Now, the Republicans are smart enough to keep the trappings of America as window dressing in their new Nation; conceived in oppression and dedicated to the concept that only white evangelical men are equal.
