GOP plans to hurt EVERYONE making less than a billion. Talk to people and tell them exactly how they will suffer

Many voters are "one issue" voters. One particular issue holds sway with them.
Well IT WORKS BOTH WAYS.
The RepubliKKKans have created two giant lists of issues GUARANTEED to alienate everyone on one crucial point or another.
RECENT:
They're not talking in the Legion clubs about banning books & things.They're wondering why Project 2025 cuts VA benefits

Listen to what really hurts people.
Find their pain point in this giant "F YOU AMERICA" list (and the project 2025 list just below) and
Counter the GOP "blunt weapon" strategy with LASER FOCUS.

PROJECT 2025: BLUEPRINT FOR A NEW REICH

My list:


GOP agenda:
• A society that excludes and criminalizes necessary health care and personal sexual preferences.
• A society that warps the constitution to establish one religion and encourage violence against others.
• Americans pitted against each other along lines of race, color, religion, gender, sexuality, and income.
• Vilification of blacks, Jews, Muslims, lgbtq+ , homeless, and women of strength, encouraging violence against them.
• Destruction of public schools and the opportunity they provide to all, minorities included.
• Funding of private, religious schools to increase class division and unequal access and opportunity.
• Banning of books.
• Devastating climate change
• Leveling the Gaza waterfront to create a Hotel Strip
• A deadly all-out war on the rights of women.
• More welfare for the rich.
• Private health care companies replace medicare and deny needed treatments -- basically "death panels"
• Every civil right is eroded by clown judges living in the 18th century rewriting the constitution.
• Worker's rights and benefits reduced in order to create greater profits for businesses.
• Safety nets removed, so that homeless, and jobless people are left to die on the streets.
• More, more, more of culture war.
• GUNS, everywhere, with no limitations or requirements. Mob rule ( warms Putin's heart )
• Unbridled support of authoritarian regimes across the globe, who eagerly imprison, "re-educate", murder and commit atrocities on others.
• Lies, hate speech and threats are welcomed on "social media" and given support by government officials.
• Medical care and prescription drug costs skyrocket.
• Preventing non-white people from voting.
• Leadership by people with the lowest morals of all. Grafters and grifters.


KAMALA'S AGENDA (as I see it) This is not her platform.
• Support of women's health care and sexual preferences.
• Separation of religion and state, and protection of minority rights.
• Americans of every race, color, religion, gender, sexuality, and income honored and treated fairly.
• The wealthy pay their damn fair share.
• Acceptance and embrace of blacks, Jews, Muslims, lgbtq+ , homeless, and women of strength.
• Zero tolerance of hate and violence.
• Strong action to reduce gun violence.
• Vigorous support of public schools and the opportunity they provide to all, minorities included.
• Getting private, religious schools off the dole.
• Slashing the divide in education, opportunity, internet access and access to the levers of power.
• Banning book bans!
• A local and global "Manhattan Project" to counter climate change
• Guaranteeing the rights of women.
• Support of Medicare, so that some day, we can have UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE, SINGLE PAYER.
• Taking profiteers of "Medicare Advantage" plans to task.
• Restoring the Supreme Court to one that serves all people, and it not a religious tribunal or den of thieves.
• Worker's rights and benefits increased and guaranteed.
• Safety nets bolstered for homeless, jobless, and other needy people.
• Holding social media accountable for calls to violence that they harbor or actively foster.
• Sensible gun control
• Putting authoritarian regimes across the globe on notice.
• Passing the John Lewis VOTING RIGHTS ACT.
• A better society by POSITIVE EXAMPLE
