5. If a Democrat did this, it would be all over the news everyday.

It would be used to confirm the "Democrats are weak on Military Defense" narrative.

The Republicans fuck up the economy every time they are in charge, yet they are portrayed as the strong economy party.

Republicans attack our justice system and threaten to defund federal law enforcement, yet are portrayed as the "Law and Order Party".

Republicans vote to cut spending on Immigration and Customs and the Coast Guard and the Border Patrol, yet they are the Party of Strong Borders.

Republicans keep pushing plans to cut Social Security and Medicare, to cut protections for workers, to give more power to corporate monopolies, yet they get the "Working Man's Party" label.

Republicans want to control our healthcare decisions, our reading choices, our family choices, our educational opportunities, our marriage choices, yet they are The Freedom Party.

Republicans want to punish people who are non-white, non-Christian, non-hetero, non-conformist in any way, yet they are the perpetual victims.

How do we correct this?
