🚨“I’m not going to vote because I want to PUNISH the Republicans!”
The objective here is noble, but the political strategy is backwards and 100% counterproductive.
The Republican traitors in Congress that we all hate would actually love nothing more than to lose their majority in the House and in the Senate. By operating in the Congressional minority, they have cover with which to justify accomplishing nothing and protection with which to obfuscate their true agenda.
It’s very easy to front as an America First patriot when you’re in the minority and none of your votes really mean anything. As a Congressional minority, Republican traitors are given the opportunity to vote for America First bills that they’re actually opposed to, knowing that the bill won’t actually pass – it’s all optics meant to dupe the voters.
No, for the traitors in the Congressional GOP, forcing them to grapple with a Congressional majority is the biggest punishment of all.
By virtue of having a Congressional majority over the last 18 months, we’ve been able to identify, primary, and replace 7 individual Republican traitors who have refused to vote for the One Big Beautiful Bill ($75 billion in ICE funding) and the SAVE America Act (voter ID + proof of citizenship).
If we had been in the minority, this purge would not have been possible. All 7 of these traitors would still be sitting in Congress pretending to give a shit about this country, and most people would be none the wiser.
If you care about purging the traitors from the Republican Party, the best approach is to maintain a Congressional majority, then spend the next couple of election cycles systematically identifying and replacing them.
Reminder: over the last 10 years, we’ve successfully purged almost 30 such traitors from the Congressional GOP.
Ironically, handing a Congressional majority over to the Democrats is to effectively serve as a useful idiot for the very people we all want to remove.
Don’t be an idiot. 🇺🇸
