Some simple thoughts for voters who plan to vote Republican because of inflation.

Plan? We don't have a plan but we can't even make believe on this one. Next question.

This is a quick diary about an almost bumper sticker idea that I had while listening to NPR and a discussion of how inflation is a bad topic for Democrats and is going to be a winner for Republicans. 

It was really simple.  Some people say that Republicans don't have plans.  I don't agree.  They have plans on ideas. The plans are awful but on many topic  they have plans but with inflation it's different. 

For example They plan and do "lower taxes" and they can campaign on it as a phrase which has a plan attached to it.  It is an awful plan and geared to the rich and the destruction of government but its a plan.

They also have plans to do things like abolish abortion - which is a horrible, misogynistic plan but as we now know it's an actual plan.  They have other horrible plans like making sure that bathrooms are - well - something about transgender - I won't even bother trying to organize a set of words to explain that ridiculous and cruel plan but, it's at least a tangible plan that they can tell their fearful voters. 

Their voters see these plans.  They confuse them with something meaningful but they see that there are plans. 

With inflation there is no plan.  Nothing they can even try to explain.  Without even getting into the idea that theoretically controlling inflation requires regulation of some form and that Republicans don't do regulation, it's much more simple. 

There is no plan.  None.  Not even a made up one.  And maybe, maybe to alert independent voters or swing voters to this simple fact with some simple statements could possibly be a message - and I came up with a few that may even be discussion worthy if anyone has any independent friends on Facebook, in real life or on other social media.   Here are a couple of short messages:

  1. Republicans are campaigning about inflation with no plan to address inflation.  
  2. Inflation sucks.  Republicans have no plans nor tools to stop it.  
  3. It is 100% understandable to be upset about inflation but If you plan to vote Republican because you are tired of inflation isn't it worth asking what they plan to do about it? 
  4. I understand that you care about inflation and so do I.  Unfortunately the Republicans have zero plan to do anything about it.  The reality is that it's not an issue to vote on. 

I know that in my life I really don't have reasonable, right leaning friends on Social media and my "in person" friends are all Democratics but I still am posting these into the mid terms along with my GOTV messages and I thought I may as well share here.
