Law and Order Republicans stand behind Donald Trump.

How do you spell hypocrisy?

Republicans are actually running on the law and order issue. After the last 6 years of criminality, they are accusing Democrats of being "soft on crime".

They always bring up the violence in Portland Oregon in the last year of Trump's term in office. As if they had nothing to do with it. After all, they only had the presidency and the Attorney General to work with. But it was all the responsibility of the Mayor and the Governor of the state of Oregon. Actually, they should have been able to work together to resolve the violence.

So they excuse what happened on January 6th because of what happened in Oregon the previous summer. They are not equivalent. Either way, they are not very good examples for "law and order".

It picked 3 issues and hammered them; Crime, immigrants and the border, inflation.

Democrats should have done the same strategy.

The Rs are truly horrible, but the democratic party's part in the destruction of American democracy will be ALWAYS playing the role of the Washington Generals to the Rs Harlem Globetrotters.

They attacked peaceful protesters night after night with tear gas. Trump sent goons who literally kidnapped people off the street.
