Republican ad campaigns have no positive messages or solutions, only fear-mongering. “There’s an INVASION at the southern border!” Never mind that this so-called border “crisis” is totally Trumped-up.
When there was a bill to enact meaningful policy to address legitimate border concerns, the radical-right’s Dear Leader instructed his cultish cohorts in Congress to squash it. He wants the issue to help him regain power for himself and entrench his troop of traitor tots including Ryan Zinke, Greg Gianforte, Steve Daines and Tim Sheehy.
A real invasion is what Russia did to Ukraine. Tanks and air raids flattening buildings, indiscriminately slaughtering everyone and their children. It is not people who are fleeing oppression from autocratic countries like Venezuela where another corrupt president refuses to concede a lost election.
So-called “Migrant crime” is as deceptive as an “invasion” from Mexico. According to The Brennan Center for Justice, overall crime is down and undocumented immigrants commit far fewer crimes than U.S. born citizens. In fact, according to FactCheck.org, there is broad agreement that violent crime resulting from far-right groups, particularly white supremacists, is what’s on the rise.

If you want to be frightened, learn the facts about what should scare you. Chaos, embarrassingly weird and criminal behavior is exhausting for everyone. Whose policies benefit the American people and not one weirdo and his wealthy cronies? One party platform represents name-calling bluster, ineptitude and phony fear, the other sensible governing and personal freedom.
Let’s choose calm competence, joy and freedom.
