‘Ignore Guns, Talk Inflation’: Memos Show GOP Strategy After the Uvalde Massacre

[C_Clayton_Jones]

‘Stay cool. Run out the clock. Scare some gun nuts while you can. But don’t worry: this moment will be over soon.

That’s the message the Republican Party, Donald Trump, and conservative leaders rapidly coalesced around after a series of mass shootings in recent weeks, including at one at a Texas elementary school.

Several strategy memos and private communications, prepared for a variety of conservative candidates and organizations, reviewed by Rolling Stone in the days following the Uvalde school massacre were clear: change the topic to literally anything else, and let this news cycle run its course.

“Ignore guns, talk inflation,” one such memo, written for a top-tier GOP Senate candidate, succinctly reads, citing polling data of voter concerns ahead of the critical 2022 midterm elections. Other documents predictably decried liberal desires for “gun-grabbing” and “gun confiscation,” and made whataboutism-type references to gun violence in Chicago.’

The GOP plan? Change the topic to literally anything else. Trump, for his part, “talked a lot more about Johnny Depp than he did about guns”

Run out the clock until November, of course.

With control of Congress next January, Republicans can ignore mass shootings, gun crime and violence altogether.

Oh, you mean like Democrats do in Chicago and Baltimore?

OMG! So what?

Biden's inflation impacts far more Americans than does gun violence.

Pointing out that a person is shot in Chicago every 3 hours isn't whataboutism, it's a reality that liberal trash ignore. Those black and brown lives apparently don't matter.

the economy is far more important amd the issue we need to be focusing on.

Is this another 'Republicans hate children' thread?

That's just the RINO wing of the UNiparty getting their new script to follow.
Dems will talk "gun control" (confiscation) while the Repubs ignore it & American's will follow the Kabuki Theatre with 2 minutes of hate directed at their opposition.
They remain distracted & divided while the NWO reset plan is unfolding.
Like a magic act where the magician flourishes a hand around while the other does the trick

The strategy.
Propose legislation that has absolutely zero chance of passing, blame Republicans for killing children.

Oh, and demonize the NRA even though not one card carrying member has ever committed a mass shooting.

You have no idea do you? a tanking economy creates more instability and poverty... mental health crisis. It should be no wonder to YOU that we have seen a big uptick in violence ALONG with these mass shootings... as well as suicides ever since the economic lockdown. and isolation. it plays a large role in over all social health over time, both mentally and physically. Inflation in todays world is a major issue. You crash the economy even more and you will see even more killings as families become stressed and fall apart.
