I know a lot of people who are having trouble handling the way things are going. The left has engaged in sustained, random, low-intensity violence on a national level. People feel they need to prepare, but they can't retaliate, and that constant edgy readiness is already wearing people down while the left continues to randomly burn and loot with impunity.
Do people have some ideas on how to handle that constant background noise without getting worn down and losing before the fight even begins? I've been able to compartmentalize and just wait to do the job that's in front of me, but not everyone can do that.
Handouts.
You're not wrong, but it's a problem of optics. The democrats have always managed to find something to promise to give. In the 60's it was section 8. In the 90's it was welfare. In the 10's its college loan forgiveness.
Whether they actually do it is irrelevant. It's that they are seen to be talking about doing it.
GOP budget hawkery has its uses but the natural takeaway from it is that the republicans are not the poor party.
