I don’t want to hear 1 more Republican say that issues like the border aren’t Republican/Democrat issues. Stop giving Dems a pass for damage their policies do in the name of some weird desire to reach for a unity that doesn’t exist. It IS partisan. Sell why our ideas are better!
Messaging is everything. I just saw a press conference from the border where they tried the "this isn’t a Republican or Democrat issue" line and it’s infuriating. Dems are the ones who want to abolish ICE and didn’t speak up when Antifa attacked an ICE facility.
Democrats are the ones who want open borders, they’re the ones who incentivize illegal migration with promises of free benefits, they’re the ones who want to give legal status to people who cut the line. Grow some courage and call them out directly! It is a Democrat issue!!!
They’re the ones who have a defund police movement that fundraised to release sex offenders. They’re the ones who refuse to turn criminal illegals over to the federal gov to deport them, they’re the ones who want to end deportations, they’re the ones who allow cartels to thrive.
If we don’t own our issues and stop trying to play the middle, we’re going to inspire no one. You want to bring new people to our party? Stop being nice to people who hate you, be clear, name and shame Democrat failures and communicate our vision directly. No more Mr. Nice guy.
