This is a bit more obscure than that, but mostly yes.

The real problem is that the army doesn’t want more tanks. They’ve asked congress to stop building armored vehicles. Don’t need money for tanks, want money for R&D.

Congress love building tanks because it falsely creates jobs in their districts. So more tanks. Most of these factories are located in red districts.

Too many tanks and they have to sell them. That’s how police can buy tanks.

Sell all your AR15? Most AR15 owners are in red states. There are direct correlation with voting republicans and owning firearms. So if you decide to sell you AR15 it might indicate you’d switch vote? It’s a stretch but less republicans, more jobs from other types of factories (e.g. Green energy related), less money to build tanks, less armored vehicles being auctioned off to police.

Get her an android with something like the blackbird. Same thing, but it also doubles as an android device.

Or if you have an iPad laying around.

There’s not a lot of reasons this device exists. It’s a big miss.

I’m talking about the republicans overall. In the general they better have a platform but it seems this is going to be a repeat of 2020.

It’s a “the system is broken but we have to play with the rules” thing. We can protest/protest/canvas for new voting rules to get third parties more chance to be in congress, but I can’t see the presidency ever changing in a regular setting.

TBF, we have achieved a FSD that is safer than one human this year. But we took away the driver license of grandma so now we have to find another human that’s worse than FSD.

That’s what the general is for.

It’s even funnier when considering they could suggest climate denying policies and still don’t.

They have no platform. Literally. Not even a regressive one.
