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

[C_Clayton_Jones]

We'd like to be able to shoot criminals, but that hurts your guys' feelings.

Republicans will do nothing about gun crime and violence in an effort to appease this important component of their voting base.

‘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.’

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

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.

Dead children empower democrats, not Republicans…..

Mass public shootings are rare events…..the democrats need to lie about them in order to stampede uninformed Americans into giving them more power…….democrats are vile.

Hmmmmmm….like ignoring the fact that joe Biden’s son committed a felony by lying on the Federal gun background check to buy a gun?

You mean like that?

 

[Superbadbrutha]

guns don’t kill people, people do.

No shit, did you figure that out all by yourself. How many mass killings have you seen where 5 or 6 people are strangled to death by one man?

Why do you dembots keep trying to take guns from law abiding citizens and do nothing about the fact that folks in baltimore ans chicago and left desperate without work and feel the need to resort to violent crime?

More of the same dumb ass talking points. Nobody is trying to take folks guns, folks are talking about military style weapons. Have you ever served? Have you ever seen what an M16 will do to a human body? Ask the parents of Uvalde or as the black families of the black folks who were gunned down in a grocery store in Buffalo, NY.

folks like yourself push the plantation talking point as minorities are forced to live in poverty and crime ridden cities your party masters have destroyed.

You're a boot licking idiot, plain and simple. How many black folks do you even associate with? Does your white husband allow you to even go around your family? Trump said he was going to stop the violence in Chicago and it would be done in a week and it would be easy, so much for that bullshit. Who is pumping the guns into Chicago and Baltimore? Who is pumping the drugs into the crime ridden cities as you call them? Do you even know anybody that lives in any of these cities?

 

[Superbadbrutha]

Can anyone show me where the word GUNS is in the 2nd Amendment.

There is also a video of Hunter with a sex worker handling a firearm with his finger on the the democrats trigger.

As Joe Biden tries to push "gun safety" legislation on the country, he might want to start by cleaning up his own house first. In the latest embarrassing leak, new video of his son Hunter

If Hunter was Trump’s son he would be in deep legal shit over lying on the background check form as well as a number of other items and so would Trump. Since Hunter is Joe Biden’s son he will waltz away scot-free without a care in the world.

[Weatherman2020]

It's been their clear strategy for every mass shooting.


1) is always "Don't talk about it now, they haven't even been buried yet, it's insensitive to talk politics just after someone got shot with the guns I like. "

Why are Democrats holding up two bipartisan bills that would actually address gun violence?

 

[Weatherman2020]

Can anyone show me where the word GUNS is in the 2nd Amendment.

You run with that.

 

[Superbadbrutha]

Does that mean you can't show me?

So that means you can't.

“The same social maladies that fuel mass shootings also motivate the GOP base. The party has no reason to want cultural ills like bigotry or disaffection addressed because a more well-adjusted society won't produce enough GOP voters for them to win elections. The same forces that motivated two of the most prominent mass shootings in the past month — one in a Buffalo, New York grocery store and another in a Uvalde, Texas elementary school — are uncomfortably evocative of modern right-wing recruitment strategies, particularly those that target young men.”

Here is the disturbing reason why Republicans will always ignore the red flags of mass shootings

During his Thursday night address to the country following a staggering series of mass shootings across the country, President Joe Biden mostly focused his attention on the need for better gun laws. But — likely due to the fact that Republicans will block even the mildest of restrictions on gun...

Arm the teachers, how is that?

Like Portland in the summer of love. Democrats will not allow help from the Republicans. Then the democrats lose any power they have.

Yep. They knew armed bears were needed.

Already showed you two bills in DC Democrats are holding up. Both bipartisan support, one written by a Democrat.

Held up because they actually address stopping gun violence.

I guess he forgets how new york was when it was run by Democrats, then Giuliani came in and cleaned it up. Now ran by democrats it's a shithole again.
