7. Government spending and waste -- when the GOP is in charge. Maybe Dems should "purple-bandaid" it.

Dems don’t blindly follow symbols like the GOP base does. But emblemize the screwed-up reflecting pool ad nauseum, like those silly people on the other side.
Reflecting mirrors with “flaking” blue paint, splotches of green, and “$18M” written on them?
T-shirts that read “GOP donors got $18 million and all i got was pool algae”, with a picture of the pool?
“Trump: Can’t Even Keep Your Pool Clean”
“Worst Pool Guy Ever”
