It’s complicated

By Michael Frandzel - Portsmouth | Oct 29, 2022

INFLATION: The U.S. rate is high! But, at 8.2% it is one of the lowest rates in industrialized nations, and it is only one of 3 in which the rate is falling! So, I guess we Republicans should give a big round of applause to Joe Biden.

CRIME: Crime in 2020 was 60% lower than in 1980. The crime rate began to consistently decline in the early 1990s and fell every year between 2001 and 2020. But for some reason we’re calling it a crime wave–despite the facts.

ABORTION: We are pretty much against it, no matter what the mother, father, doctor want. Our motto: “politicians know best”. Or maybe our motto is “the church knows best”?

OPEN BORDER: Customs and Border Patrol turned back 2 million people crossing the Mexican/US border so far in 2022, an all-time record. So, I guess we need to thank Joe Biden for keeping our border closed.

DEFUND THE POLICE: Only we Republicans have even mentioned defunding the police in the last year or more. Maybe the Dems have just lost interest?

LAW AND ORDER: We are all for it when it comes to people of color; the Jan 6 riots at the Capitol, that attempt to overthrow the results of the election, injuring 115 police officers – not so much.

Being a Republican sure gets complicated!
