Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla), the National Republican Senatorial Committee chair, published an 11-point manifesto on what the Republicans will do if they gain control of the Senate (and House) in 2022. It’s a roadmap for the Republican Party’s final descent into extremism.
It’s certainly not the party of the hero Dwight Eisenhower. Even Ronald Reagan would roll over in his grave if he saw the Putin/Trump style manifesto.
It starts with raising taxes on 100 million low and middle income working Americans (The GOP doesn’t think you have any “skin in the game” and you don’t pay enough taxes).
The 2022 GOP Senate plan is a Putinesque assault on our democratic institutions and proposes to weaken voting rights, dissolve the Department of Education (and the federal dollars that support your kids’ schools) and make deep cuts to Social Security and Medicare (socialism). Federal lands will be sold off. Welcome to Exxon-Mobil’s Yellowstone Park and Oil Refinery. No trespassing!
Don’t take my word for it. Read it for yourself! Google Rick Scott 11-point plan. It’s a must read before you go to the polls and vote for Mike Lee, Chris Stewart or any other Republican candidate who will tow the GOP line or be purged like Liz Cheney.
The once Grand Old Party has left your moderate conservative values for neo-fascism and anti-democracy extremism. Scott’s published 11-point GOP legislative plan reads like an Orwellian dystopia. None of it can happen if they’re not in power.
