If I hear this one more time, I'm going to scream

1. The "failed" troop withdrawal from Afghanistan was Biden's fault.
2. Any effort at racial reconciliation or social justice reform is "CRT".
3. The 2020 election results in many states need to be audited and re-counted because they do not accurately reflect the will of the voter.
4. The Mexican border is a disaster.

U.S. remain on the lower cost half of world scale for fuel costs:

Maybe a sticker asking if Joe is responsible for $10.95 a gallon fuel in Hong Kong?

Your list and all the comments so far are driving all of us to understand this has to be intentional instead of stupidity

Is somehow all Biden's fault and had nothing to do with the extremely botched pandemic response in 2020.

I shortened it all to
Fraud
Fear, and
Fascism

per Jaime Harrison's salvo, and
Every Accusation is a Confession
per other DU members, and general consensus among therapists.

Now, getting this across versus the "noise" (some of which I admit contributing) is a challenge, and while I am no expert, I figure that if others see this, they might come up with even better ones, especially as this will change with frickin genocide going on, as well as the hearings, I should live so long. (I plan to)

I will be expanding on Every Accusation is a Confession because it's a deep psychological problem (projection) and curable upon self-reflection, something society de-facto bans. By externalizing, you are ceding control of your own life, and that's just fine and dandy with exploiters.

Series begins shortly.

WHAT IS MY GUIDING PRINCIPLE?
https://democraticunderground.com/100216524810
This is from the epilogue of "Stamped From the Beginning", by Ibram X Kendi.
Racism is the engine of the Repugnant party.
Emphasis mine:

Protesting against racist power and succeeding can never be mistaken for seizing power. Any effective solution to eradicating American racism must involve Americans committed to antiracist policies seizing and maintaining power over institutions, neighborhoods, counties, states, nations—the world. It makes no sense to sit back and put the future in the hands of people committed to racist policies, or people who regularly sail with the wind of self-interest, toward racism today, toward antiracism tomorrow. An antiracist America can only be guaranteed if principled antiracists are in power, and then antiracist policies become the law of the land, and then antiracist ideas become the common sense of the people, and then the antiracist common sense of the people holds those antiracist leaders and policies accountable.


Let's FOCUS on what's doable. Just MAYBE, we can help enough people reflect.

and yes, all of the OP's points are accusations that are confessions.

For this one. The GQP has plenty to be held responsible for but this lays at the feet of the media it continues to give the GQP free play time for these. The media could of / should of put an end to each and every one of these lies with timely & factual reporting. Instead the media continues to breath life into them while never really shutting the door on the issues.
