'We got rolled': How the conservative grassroots lost the fight with Biden because it was focused on

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Trump

In years past, it would have been a political Waterloo moment for Republicans: President Joe Biden and congressional Democrats racing frantically to finalize sweeping legislation to hike taxes on corporations and spend trillions on climate change and health care subsidies.

But instead of mounting a massive grassroots opposition to tank or tar the Inflation Reduction Act, conservatives and right-wing news outlets spent the past week with their gaze elsewhere: the FBI’s search of Donald Trump’s Palm Beach mansion.

Hundreds of them gathered instead outside Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in South Florida to protest what they viewed as an egregious example of federal government overreach. Back in Washington, conservative activists did rally against the bill and targeted vulnerable Democrats in ads. But even the main organizers conceded that they had little time to muster the opposition-party gusto of years past.

“Everything was moving so fast, the tax provisions were being debated on the fly, so there was very little time for groups to do that in-depth grassroots pushback like we saw during Obamacare,” said Cesar Ybarra, vice president of policy at conservative grassroots organization FreedomWorks. “To create buzz in this town and for it to penetrate across America, you need more time. So yeah, we got rolled.”

They're incapable of multi-tasking.

1. Everyone Was Fusssing That All THe Attention Was On tfg

but maybe it was a blessing in disguise

2. First, FreedomWorks is not grassroots.

Second, their followers are like sheep. They do exactly as they are told.

8. Exactly. Thanks for reminding everyone that FreedomWorks is astroturf, not grassroots.

3. Funny thing is, I've still been seeing a few of those ads made by big Advertising firms

Hiding who really wants you to be against the legislation, but I guess the money was already allocated and contracts signed for the spots. It looks so off when I see them because you think, "Don't you think it's a little too late?" The groups sound all buzzy and for the people like but you know it's for Big GOP and Big Business. In the meantime the bills already signed. Of course, that term conservative grassroots in itself sounds weird.

4. In other words Democrats

Fought the lobbyists, but the Democrats won!!

5. I think a lot of conservatives would have voted for these laws if they didn't know who was behind

them. They have these weird glasses on that makes everything that comes from a Democrat seem evil. But I bet they like the idea of corporations being made to pay more taxes and investments in clean air, (That's what I think we should be labeling these climate change terms - clean air and water packages - who would go against clean air and water.

7. So are they admitting to the fact that

They are inept? Seems like most of us are able to do more then one thing at a time.

9. Ummmm...

...pushback like we saw during Obamacare.

.
They do realize that the "organized pushback" resulted in a law that's been in place for 10&1/2 years, don't they?
That was obviously less effective than they think it was.
They tried to reverse it a million times, and it's still the law.
What the heck is Vbarra talking about? Were they distracted by the "raid" in 2009, too?
