Stick To The Message!

Republicans resort to dog whistle politics this midterm election.

Republicans love to stay on message. Their message is inflation, crime and open borders. 

They offer no plans on how to combat these issues. The only plan is to scapegoat and use culture wars to scare white voters and depressing people of color from voting. The Commitment to America was rolled out and I guess Republicans are engaged. The Republicans are rolling out a mass ad campaign to paint Democrats as the party of crime, socialism, open borders, inflation, mandates, etc.

The noise that keeps Republicans engaged in voting.

As Democrats are trying to stay on message about democracy being on the line, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), Sen. Karen Sinema (D-AZ), Sen. Karen Manchin (D-WV) and the Squad keep fucking up the momentum.

Republicans are intensifying their focus on crime and public safety, hoping to shift the debate onto political terrain that many of the party’s strategists and candidates view as favorable. The strategy seeks to capitalize on some voters’ fears about safety — after a pandemic-fueled crime surge that in some cities has yet to fully recede. But it has swiftly drawn criticism as a return to sometimes deceptive or racially divisive messaging.

So fentanyl is being masqueraded as candy.

While President Joe Biden was discussing his policies to decrease inflation, Hurricane Ian, the Inflation Reduction Act which lowered Medicare and Medicaid costs, Fox pivoted to drug trafficking and Halloween candy.

CNN and MSNBC covered the president, Fox discussed the border, liberal elites, Hillary Clinton and fentanyl. All part of the Republican Party's plan to make the issues not about Washed Up 45, having election deniers on the ballot, women losing the right to safe termination, using immigrants as pawns and embracing white nationalism.

The DEA said drug traffickers have expanded their inventory to sell fentanyl - a synthetic opioid 50 times more potent than heroin - in a variety of bright colors, shapes and sizes. 

A recent seizure in Connecticut found 15,000 fentanyl pills stashed in Skittles and Nerds packaging, and with Halloween just weeks away, the DEA is urging parents to be vigilant. 

The agency have sent a stern warning to parents to educate themselves as children prepare for the spooky season, with a former specialist warning that 'this is not a drug issue, it's a mass poisoning.' 

During the period of May 23 to September 8 this year, 10.2 million fentanyl pills and about 980 pounds of fentanyl powder were seized by the the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) as part of the One Pill Can Kill initiative.

Of the 390 cases investigated during this period, 51 cases have been linked to overdose poisonings and 35 cases link directly to one or both of the primary Mexican cartels responsible for the majority of fentanyl in the United States – the Sinaloa Cartel and the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG). 

The U.S. Border and Customs Agency has stopped thousands of illegal drugs from entry but some slip through. Republicans obsess with the fact that it was stopped not entered into the country.

It is a play upon suburban white voters who feel inflation and crime are real issues.

Inflation is worldwide. Crime has been up since 2018 but has declined in recent years.

The migrant caravans are the usual pivot Fox does. It takes off the victories Biden achieved over the past month.

With the Inflation Reduction Act passed, enabled policies start within months. 

Republicans act like things should began the moment a law is passed. It never stops with the noise the Republicans and conservative agitating media.
