A Strategy Document for the Republican Party

Democrats, with the help of their servants in the mainstream media, have for years worked to define the Republican party in negative terms. They have accused Republicans of being anti-women, anti-gay, anti-immigrant, and stooges of big business actively working against the best interests of middle class Americans. Though false, their attacks were often successful, largely because the mainstream media assisted mightily by constantly reinforcing their message.

Many of the Democrat party’s policy positions are now wildly out of touch with the values and priorities of most Americans.

Their current big smear project is to pin the “racist” label on President Trump, and by extension, all Republicans who support him. The time has come for Republicans to fight back! Due to the Democrat party’s recent leftward lurch, Republicans now have an unprecedented opportunity to paint Democrats as radical extremists. This can be achieved, not by using false narratives as the Democrats routinely do to Republicans, but by putting a bright spotlight on the Democrats’ actual policies and priorities.

Background:

One of the results of Hillary Clinton’s loss in the 2016 presidential election was to move the Democrat Party dramatically to the left. The far-left progressive wing is now in ascendancy within the party. Leading 2020 Democrat presidential candidates realize this. They have been proposing far left policies which they believe will appeal to progressives who are most likely to vote in primaries. This has been on full display during their first two debates.

It is hard to remember any time in recent history when leading Democrats have embraced so many ideas, policies, and plans that are wildly out of touch with the priorities and values of most Americans. The ability to effectively shape the public’s perception of the Democrat party will be a vital key to achieving a resounding Republican victory in 2020. As mentioned, Republicans now have an extraordinary opportunity to define the Democrat Party by its support of policies which are wildly unpopular with the American public.

To this end, I have prepared a list which highlights the Democrats’ most radical positions, policies, and plans. These are items which I believe can be effectively used to define the Democrat party, and frankly, to paint them as the extreme radicals that they have become. I encourage Republicans to view the list below as a menu of issues and topics which can be used by the national Republican party, and by Republican candidates running in state and local elections. This list is not exhaustive. I encourage our readers to use the comments area to suggest additional items that they feel should be included.

The List of Democrats’ Extreme Policies, Plans, and Ideas:

• Free (taxpayer funded) healthcare for illegal aliens: In a recent Democrat presidential debate, every single Democrat on stage raised his or her hand in support of this. This issue has tremendous resonance. The fact that Democrats treat illegals better than they treat their fellow Americans absolutely infuriates voters!!

• De-criminalizing illegal entry into the United States: The practical result of this policy is to create Open Borders. Republicans and Independents fiercely oppose open borders. Even the majority of Democrats are against open borders

• Sanctuary Cities: Result is to protect illegal aliens, even those who have committed serious crimes, from deportation.

• Abolish ICE: ICE helps enforce our borders, fights gang violence, busts up child prostitution rings, and much more to keep US citizens safe.

• Providing drivers licenses to illegal aliens: An obvious consequence will be an increase in voter fraud.

• Forgiveness of college/university loans: Requires U.S. taxpayers, many of whom are low income citizens who could not afford to attend college themselves, to pay off the college debts of millions of middle class 20-somethings. This also infuriates many Americans who spent years paying off their own student loans.

• Support 3rd Trimester Abortions: Includes allowing abortions right up to the moment of live birth in many Democrat run states.

• Reparations for slavery: Slavery ended in the USA 155 years ago. Required reparations is an idea that is hugely unpopular with the American citizenry.

• Abolish the Electoral College: This would disenfranchise most Americans who do not live in a large city, and also disenfranchise Americans who live in states with low populations.

• Pack the Supreme Court: Once the gain power, Democrats plan to add as many liberal justices as necessary to create a liberal majority on the court.

• Allow transgender (biologically male) athletes to compete in women’s sports: This is already having a devastating effect on girls and women’s sport programs at the high school and college level.

• Constantly Screaming “Racist”: Democrats routinely label Americans who disagree with them as Racists. Most Americans are sick of this practice, and it will resound against the Democrats if Republicans make it an issue.

• Identity Politics: Pits Americans against one another, and encourages vast portions of the American population to view themselves as victims. Most Americans strongly oppose Identity Politics.

• Single Payer Health Care: This is Medicare for All, and it would force citizens to give up their current Health Care plans, even if they are very happy with what they already have.

• Create confusion about “Gender”: Joe Biden recently said there were 3 genders. Other Democrats have stated that there are as many as 20 genders. The whole discussion about gender is a big loser for Democrats. For most people, it reinforces the perception that the Democrats are a bit “nutty.” Democrat candidates are afraid to refute the far left narrative that there are many genders because this will anger an important portion of their base. Simply putting Democrat candidates on the spot by asking them how many genders there are is a clever tactic that Republicans should use often.

• Pedophilia Curriculum: This is being introduced to children in preschool, kindergarten & grade school: Not widespread yet, but it is happening in some locations, and it enrages most Americans when they hear about it.

A Target Rich Environment

The time to brand Democrats as out of touch with America is Right Now!

As anyone can see from the above list, today’s Democrats have provided Republicans with a target rich environment. It would be a shame to let it go to waste! By building comprehensive and relentless ad campaigns around the above issues, Republicans can achieve two very important objectives.

First, they can solidify and energize their base to ensure maximum Republican turnout. Second, they can clarify and crystalize for Independents and centrist Democrats that today’s Democrat party no longer shares their values or priorities. Currently, the most powerful issue for Republicans is the reality that Democrats treat illegal aliens better than they treat American citizens. Effective use of this issue can win many elections for Republican candidates.

The Republican national party should create and maintain repetitive messaging until it becomes ingrained in the public consciousness that “Democrats treat illegal aliens better than they treat their own citizens.”

Republicans should immediately launch a national ad campaign to reinforce this message. Video clips of every single 2020 Democrat candidate raising his or her hand in favor of free healthcare for illegal aliens should be the centerpiece of the campaign.

I recently ran an unscientific poll on Twitter asking which group Democrats cared about more – American citizens or illegal aliens. Over 3,000 people responded, and 98% of them said that Democrats care more about illegal aliens than they do about American citizens. My Twitter followers are mostly Republicans and Independents, but the fact remains that there is profound anger about the Democrats’ preferential treatment of illegal aliens. This is an issue which can be used to devastate Democrats’ relationship with the American people, and Republicans would be foolish not to use it.

I also encourage state and local Republican candidates to carefully review the list of “Extreme Democrat Positions” presented in this article. They should select specific issues that will have the strongest impact within their districts. They can then build strong campaigns around issues that will motivate their base and move independents and centrist Democrats away from their Democrat opponents.

In Summary:

Many of the Democrat party’s policy positions are now wildly out of touch with the values and priorities of most Americans. It is time to define the Democrats by their unpopular policies! Effective use of the list provided in this article can help Republicans accomplish three critical objectives.

1. Solidify and energize the Republican base.

2. Move Independents to the Republican side.

3. Show centrist Democrats how radical and extreme their party has become. At minimum, this will dampen their enthusiasm for Democrat candidates. At best, they may vote Republican.
