The GOP is straight up telling us they don't care about immigration, LGBT, abortion, etc. We lost this fight because it was a fight over the economy. This will always be a fight about the standard of living for working class people.

The GOP bring up these topics because they don't want the Dems to send messaging about actual economic policy. They want to keep them arguing about other topics people really don't care about or might edge out a win on their side. That way they can be 100% wrong on the economy and exact their real intent. The DNC leadership are 100% ok with this because THEY ALIGN on the issue. They will give some weak ass messaging about helping the middle class then be completely fine with their donors raking in cash hand over fist.

If the GOP cared about immigration why did they make the bill that would help stem the problem political?

If they cared about taking away LGBT rights why is gay marriage still legal?

If they are so opposed to abortion why is Trump out there not saying he will support an abortion ban?

The answer is they don't want you to see the elephant in the room which is the standard of living is falling and THEY PLAN on making it worse, if only to enrich themselves..
