Opinion: Republicans are sober alternative to hyper-woke Democrats

February 20, 2022 by 2 Comments

Article and Opinion submitted by Henry Mayer

Excerpts of FOX Opinion by Adam Brandon, February 12, 2022

If the midterm elections were held today, chances are the GOP would take the House and Senate. Midterms are generally a referendum on the sitting president, who most polls have approval ratings sinking in the low 40’s.  

But Republicans have an opportunity to do more than just win the majority. They have the opportunity to begin to build a legislative mandate for spring of 2025, the next time it is possible for the GOP to control all the levers of power in Washington. This year is an opportunity for Republicans to not just highlight failed Democratic policies, but to also present a vision of their own to the American people.  Republicans should make clear they are ready to move forward out of the pandemic and into a true economic recovery and return to normal. 

Republicans should allow Democrats to continue to make mistakes, but there is a benefit to reminding Americans what they are instead for. This means a focus on policy, not a retreat from it.

To start, Republicans need to continue to show their support for parental empowerment in education. This means funding students, not systems by way of school choice. 

Finally, Republicans win on the economy. They need to lean into an economic plan that encourages private investments rather than government spending. Our looming debt crisis presents a grave national security threat. Therefore, it is critical that Republicans cut spending and grow the economy in order to tackle the $30 trillion national debt. 

There’s no good reason to miss the opportunity to remind Americans that the GOP is supposed to be the level-headed, sober alternative to out-of-touch, hyper-woke Democrats who are more concerned with kowtowing to special interests than they are with the problems facing everyday Americans. 

Added personal opinion

Republicans should also stop supporting former President Trump’s claims of a stolen 2016 election and focus on electing a Senate and Congress that will move us away from the current Far-Left Progressive movement and forward in ways that benefits all Americans.
