Beware. GA Governor Brian Kemp has Presidential aspirations. He could win.

Here’s why. He stood up to Donald Trump and, in many Georgian’s eyes, that made him a hero. That made it okay to vote for him. Forget that he supported Trump.

That dynamic will work outside of GA, especially because they haven’t seen Kemp in action. Add to it the facts that he speaks without sounding batpoo crazy, looks like everyone’s benign Grandpa and has some very smart people on staff. (He himself, not so bright)
2/7
Kemp would have us believe that he’s fiscally responsible. After all, he has a budget surplus, raised teacher’s pay and may pass out tax refunds. He forgets to mention the role Federal funds—which he disapproves off, but quickly grabs anyhow—play in his largesse.

Compared to Trump & DeSantis, Kemp appears normal. Someone you could safely vote for.

It’s a façade. Underneath, he believes & practices the same authoritarian Christofascist foolishness as all the other remanents in the Republican Party.

Really America? REALLY? Publicly shaming children is bad enough, but this is a bizarre, Dickensian debtor’s prison for kids. #ONEV1 #DemVoice1 #ResistanceUnited #FreshResists

This article explains various forms of lunch shaming; e.g. stamping a child’s hand or serving them lunch, then immediately taking it back and dumping it in the trash. Yes, really.

Yes! Gavin Newsom has it right! Dems need to go on the offensive NOW! We have the ammunition, we just aren’t using it! Hope @WagnerTonight will post the entire interview.
1/4
#ONEV1 #DemVoice1 #ResistanceUnited at
Newsom is doing what he can, but we need campaign from national right on down to the tiniest grass root. Develop hard-hitting messaging for:

🔹Inflation: Attack Republican obstruction of measures that would reduce food/gas costs, make it clear that it’s actually fake
2/4
inflation resulting from corporate price gouging.

🔹Seniors: They’re coming for your Social Security, Medicare and everyone’s Obamacare.
🔹Abortion: reducing women to chattel
🔹Climate change: focus on hurricanes/flooding and wildfires.
