2022 elections will be a barometer for the health of America

[kentuck]

How much do Americans care about Putin's invasion of Ukraine?

How much do Americans care about Donald Trump's relationship with Vladimir Putin?

How much do they care about what happened on January 6th of last year?

How much do they trust the Dept of Justice to apply justice fairly and squarely?

How much do they trust Republicans to do what is best for America?

These are a few questions Republicans are confronted with when they go to the polls? Are we to believe they do not care about any of the questions above? Is their primary motivation only to defeat the left and the liberals?

The elections of 2022 and 2024 will not tell us where America is going. They will tell us where we have already gone.

1. Too many rhetorical questions Kentuck.

[Amishman]

2. Most people don't break it out like that or think much

Nor do they go much into root causes beyond a sentence's worth of explanation

Most people support Ukraine against Russia, and see both parties talking support of Ukraine. Won't be a big factor because of it. They won't go into the Pub's old Russian ties - too old and too deep.

Jan 6 is old news, and outside of politically engaged members of our party, few care.

Inflation is huge and will cause backlash against us unless it can be tamed quickly. We're in power now and they're hurting now, most voters won't think past that - so we get the blame.

A lot of voters don't look at individual candidates or research anything. They show up to vote because they have always been told its important. If they're happy with how things are going, they vote for the party in power. If they're not, they vote for the other party.

3. Then America will be placed in intensive care.

We will probably survive but its going to be a tough battle.

4. Throw a 'mental' in front of that health and I'm right there...

Although, I see all of the statements are centered around the Putinpublicans. Capturing the narrative again, good or bad.

Healthwise, the Democrats have done quite well. Vaccines for all who want them, antivirals, too. Less than half as many fatalities in a year (and a half, by then) as under Putin's Puppet. The majority of those wouldn't accept a helicopter ride in a 100 year flood, if a Democrat were the pilot.

MAYBE a Supreme Court appointment... If the Democrats retain the majority.

Fuel prices have stabilized. The markets are ticking along.

Why haven't we heard the Kremlin was offering bounties on US service personnel in Afghanistan? I haven't heard it mentioned once in the mass media.

5. The 2022 election will be decided on how much people care about inflation. It always

comes down to the economy.

7. How much people care about inflation will also depend on how well Republicans control the narrative.

[Buckeyeblue]

6. 2022 will tell us how well voter suppression laws are working

But there is a lot that can happen yet this year.

8. The election won't be about those issues you listed.

It will be about inflation, healthcare, etc.

[kentuck]

9. Why?

Because the media controls the narrative and the Republicans control the media?

[Elessar Zappa]

10. Because people don't think about the deep issues you mentioned.

It always comes back to the wallet.
