GOP blame. Ask for their solution?

The GOP has long used the blame game, the finger-pointing favorite to respond to everything.
Trying to shift the cause of any problem to others, when most of today's political and economic ills; are and were caused by their own hands.

When you hear or read one of the 'blame gamers' simply ask;
" So, what's your solution?"

Don't let them off with the obvious response..." Vote for Trump". Vote Republican."
No...get specific. Ask them how they would change the laws, the legislation to correct the problem.
You may find they don't even know what the problem ism but you will force them to start doing one thing.
Think about how our government works and how we adapt, revise and update to anything that comes our way.

I've had a great time educating people on how hard it is to commit voter fraud, from the individual creating a complete fake voter, which could take 18 years to get an actual fraudulent ballot... right through a potential statewide all-in conspiracy onslaught.
Not one viable solution was provided without me proving how the suggestion could not occur, using what's on the 'books today'.

So, what's your solution?

All they have in their SOLUTIONS arsenal is....

CUT taxes for the very rich..."They are the job creators".
EXECUTE the guilty..."They are the scourge of society."
DEPORT the Immigrant seeking Asylum..."They take jobs away from hard working Americans."
RAISE taxes on the working poor..."They do not pay enough ."
REFUSE raising the Minimum Wage..."Jobs will be lost and the Economy will go bust."


And the list goes on. Republicans have ceased wanting to govern. They complain that their ideas are not being heard. That is a LIE. For when they have had the majorities in Government, all they have done is make terrible messes.

I find that people tend to know just a little about things like this in general. It's the same with sports fans. They may know something about their chosen team, but really do not know a lot about the sport in general. I am painting with a broad brush here I realize.

I remember about 15 years ago or so when the Chicago Blackhawks started rocking and rolling. Many non-hockey fans jumped on the bandwagon and suddenly were lovers of the Hawks since birth...lol. Trump brought that out in a lot of people, and I'm sure Obama did as well. In my case, my ex-wife knew nothing of politics at all. Along comes Trump and she became his biggest supporter and viscously attacked Obama. According to her, Obama was responsible for 2 million deaths from "his virus" during his presidency.

For my sanity, I just walk away from these types of people as I cannot change them or even get them to think rationally on the subject. It's like having your car stuck in snow or mud. The more you try to step on the gas, the deeper in the rut your tires will be. And it's the same with these people. The more logic you try to give them, the deeper their belief in their cause will be.
