Republicans
Republican lost the House in 2018 due to reactions to Donald Trump and the overhanging Mueller Russia investigation. In 2020 Republicans lost the Presidency to Joe Biden in a hotly disputed election result fraught with voter fraud allegations. After a runoff of 2 seats in Georgia in January, 2021, Republicans lost the Senate (50-50). With the Presidency and both houses of Congress now lost, concerns over the integrity of our elections, and Democrats threatening to change election laws, abolish the Electoral College and pack the Supreme Court, Republicans fear for the future of the country that they will never win another election. The previous decade, Republicans won the House in 2010 mid-term election, retaining the House in 2012 and claiming the Senate in the 2014 mid-terms. The Republicans continued their climb back to power in 2016 by retaining the House and Senate and adding the Presidency as Donald Trump won a resounding electoral college victory claiming 30 states. Though he lost the popular vote, President Trump moved into 2017 with a populist victory, a conservative agenda and control of the Congress to roll back President Obama's liberal policies.

Political Narratives Collide with Reality

9/17/22
from The Gray Area:
9/17/22:

This week Gov DeSantis of Florida ramped up the political rhetoric regarding border security and illegal immigrants when he sent a group of migrants to Martha's Vineyard, home of the elite liberal, far left, political class. All hell broke out. Political narratives must be served. Just before this hit the news, a question was asked of KJP, Biden's press secretary, to which she responded with ......

Ted Cruz tweets:

Apparently there is no prepared answer for a question based on reality. Then the Martha's Vineyard news hits. The net, net is, the people of the southern border states, Arizona, New Mexico, & Texas have been telling Washington for 2 years now we have a crisis at the border and the Biden Administration and the media ignore it. Why, they are red states and the leftist leaders don't care. If open borders cause problems in those states, fine. By placing the problem on the steps of non-border blue states and DC, they cannot ignore the problem anymore. Is this the same Democrat & media reaction to a crisis being fixed in 2017 by Donald Trump? No, that was a crisis narrative invented for political purposes. The Washington Post runs a headline, A migrant landed on Martha’s Vineyard. A resident jumped in to help. They show the picture of a little girl looking bewildered. The narrative pic designed to tug at the heartstrings and avoid the reality that she is in this position because Congress, largely Democrats will not pass legislation to fix the immigration issue and they will not enforce the current immigration system. The right wing then tweets showing a Martha's vineyard resident panicked because they cannot support these people. Welcome to the reality of border towns in Arizona, New Mexico and Texas.

Sounds similar to Chicago's reaction to receiving migrants.

So which is it? Is it a political stunt by DeSantis? Yes, it is. Was Biden forgiving college debt a political stunt, yes! The reality is they are both political stunts. And finally, the anti-DeSantis political narrative gets a boost. Local Florida Democrats look to DOJ to start an investigation the Governor for his funding of these migrant flights.

It is all about the political stunts and narrative(s). Our news today has nothing to do with reality. This latest stunt, however, does shine a little light on the reality of the issue of border security. immigration, the open borders objective of the Biden administration that generated this crisis and the failed leadership to do something about it. They are hurting American and migrant families with this disastrous strategy and do nothing leadership.
