How do we protect Republican voters from themselves? Which would in return protect us.

Let's be honest, Republican voters are the main reason everything has gone to hell in America. They swallow propaganda like pigs at a trough. They vote against their economic best interests like it is going out of style.

For forty years they voted to take care of the rich and destroyed themselves economically.

They work for low pay and vote against raising the minimum wage.

Millions of them work union jobs and vote to destroy unions.

Millions of them have Obamacare and they vote to destroy Obamacare.

They are self destructive fools.

We will never get Republican voters to vote for the Democrats and that is OK. What we need to happen is for the Republican voters to stop blindly following their parties propaganda and instead force their party to not only represent them on their social issues, but also represent them on their economic issues, which are pretty much the same as ours.

How can we persuade them to change their own parties platform so it represents them on economic issues instead of just blindly following propaganda?

"Healthcare for all Republicans," and "Republicans for Gun Safety, " to name a few, with the intention of exposing Republicans to Democratic policies and values under the guise of Republican pressure groups and organizations.

...their whole operation is based on corruption. If we can get rid of all their gerrymandering, voter suppression and other corruptions they'll soon be consistently on the losing side and that will be good
for the country and the majority of the population. It won't be an easy fight but it will be a good fight!

Republicans only vote social. It has to be us vs. them. If you can make it racial then it will work. Republicans are white. Any proposal from the Democratic side has to be targeted to help white people. It's OK if it helps all people. It's OK if it helps other races more than white people, as long as we don't admit it. We just have to let white people know how much we love them. Republicans vote social.
