Was that a hint to Dems? Does that make the Dems the 'lazy a** party'? Why doesn't the GOPs keep their title as, ' family values party' supporting someone like Ex-POTUS 45- a grifter & a corrupt narcissist, alleged pedophile Goetz?
They will be starting the rebranding fighting for the state tax and giving corporations and the richest people freedom to pay no taxes while working Americans pay for them. Well done.
Rebranding is sometime All about De touring
They should rebrand as the uneducated suckers party
Better than all the criminals, thugs, BLM idiots and Antifa thugs!
Rebrand? Trump already did that. The Trumplican Party. MAGA. The establishment GOP is history.
What a crock. GOP this country sees it for what it really is. Go luck with your next insurrection. 🖕🏼
Good luck Republicans trying to rebrand your party as the party of working people. First you have to give up being the party of NO! McConnell is blocking the infrastructure bill that would help millions of workers. Democrats are for working people. Republicans are for NO !!
That’s like rebranding “pork” as “chicken”. It’s just not!
Great idea. I have a new slogan for the GOP that will draw just the type of voter they are wooing: “If it ain’t White, it ain’t right ! Vote GOP!”
It makes you wonder why there is no GOP platform or policy that focuses on improving the lives of Americans — that whole “life, liberty, and the pursuit...” thing. If they would offer voters a reason to vote rep., maybe they would not have to work so hard suppressing the vote
Imagine thinking that working class is the same thing as 'uneducated white people.' Yeesh.
Just rebrand as the party of anxious white people afraid of becoming a minority and quit wasting our time.
Should rebrand as the party of conspiracy theories and gaslighting
The working class! That's a good one!
mmmm, smells like Inskeep wants some whitewashing. way to go NPR. hopefully we can hear more Tom Cotton on the drive to work...yuck.
That may be the funniest political aspiration I’ve ever heard: Republican, the party of the working class.”
The Party of Pandering.
The Grand Ole Propaganda... the Republican Party has no platform, no structure, and no soul.
This has been coming for a long time. Democrats need to accomplish things now! Show them how good government can help them.
How about rebranding using reality, the party of heartless racist fucks unwilling to look past their own privilege to really focus on the plight of others - uncaring of the environment, public health and safety, greedy for power at any cost, even turning to fascism as a tool.
That’d be the day
party of the working class? Give me a break.
Fantastic! It will be great to have the GOP's support for a living minimum wage, restoring the right to organize, beefing up OSHA, elder- and child-care, more liberal family- and sick-leave...
To do that would require them to become pro-union, when they have been actively anti-union for at least the past 4 decades.
Yes, when I think GOP, I think “advocates for the workers, not the corporate executives.”
They haven’t done anything for the working class ever. The GOP exists solely to destroy the US Constitution in the name of “conservative values”. They are the party of racism, white power, hatred, sexism, exploitation, and billionaire wannabe autocrats. GOP
Trump appealed to nationalists, bigots, the ignorant, and arrogant. R's will continue telling folks it's okay to be all of the above. smdh (the majority of the working class always does better with Dems)
This should be satirical, considering GOP policy does not help the working class in any way.
Wait to they see the difference in campaign contributions between working-class voters and Citizens United-enabled corporations.
The party of dumb racists not doing it for them?
LOL... They have to rebrand like every other election cycle to try and remain relevant in a world that changes faster than their underwear.
They are the party of the cons and the conned
Serving the people becomes just a brand building.
The most significant growth in the GOP coalition has been sheep.
Makes as much sense as rebranding cigarettes as part of a healthy lifestyle.
Yes, making sure their their wages stay low and big corporations get big tax breaks
Yep. The party of big corporate tax breaks, taking away health care and restricting labor unions is all about benefiting the working class. 🙄
If the working class believes this, they are in for a surprise...
Shocker...dumb and dumber
Working class party, huh? Is that why they've given huge tax breaks to companies that ship their manufacturing overseas and refuse to pay Americans a living wage? Government has 100% failed the American people for the last 40 years. 24 years of that has been GOP led.
Then they might want to consider backing some policies that actually benefit all “working-class voters.” Trickle down ain’t it. Voter suppression ain’t it. Tax breaks for the 1% ain’t it. No healthcare ain’t it. No paid family leave ain’t it. Sub-poverty min. wage ain’t it.
Absurd. They stand for nothing...especially nothing to help the working class. They are the party of insurrectionists. The uneducated white men are just angry dinosaurs
Lol
That would require them to actually CARE about the working class, instead of their corporate donors. We already know they don't care, though.
HA!
If you want to rebrand the gop start by standing up for something and get idiots like Ran Paul and Jim Jordan out.
Nice try.
You mean the party of racism
It’s funny because that’s fuckin rich
White working class.
'What is happening to the Republicans? One answer is that the Party’s predicament might fairly be called the revenge of “the kooks.” In just 4 years, the G.O.P., 167 year-old institution, has become the party of Donald Trump.'
Except tge republican party hasn't done shit for American workers in over 50 years... they're still pushing trickle down economics as being for the little guy
If they do that their slogan should be “Cut off your nose to spite your face.” They really live in a fantasy world don’t they...
Lyndon Johnson, 50+ yrs ago: 'If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you.'
Sure, because when they say “working class, what they actually mean is racist white people. The vast majority of working class people are not white men, btw.
They'll be the Party Of No Voters At All.
They talk about rebranding as those snake oil scams.
😳😂😂
-Party of working class -Passing generationally-large tax cuts to ultra wealthy and corporations You can only choose one
Why 2010? Because black and poor people got healthcare in 2009?
They're dishonest. The Republican party is the party of obstruction, conspiracy theories, and insurrection now.
On the plus side these ignorant white guys are a dwindling asset. They are a loud minority fighting against an ever changing world of mixed race and cultures.
Top RepubliCONS want to rebrand themselves to improve their FAILING image. They are nothing like working folk, don't hold the same values, work against the common good, are only interested in themselves. FUCK them!
From my perspective, the working class want to own their homes, feed their families, have reliable transportation, send their kids to safe schools, afford medical & dental care, take a yearly vacation (to a beach), and retire with dignity. The R agenda? More for the rich.
But the problem for this branch of Republican Party don’t know how to help those working class workers. Raising tax? More social welfare?
But they'll always be known as the insurrection party.
Lmao!
Nevermind all the union resistance, continued push to keeping wages stagnant, refusal to fix healthcare cost, the CEO outrageous pay compared to workers, the taxes now put on workers bc rich pay none...nevermind all that! And stupid ppl will vote for them still
Not shocking, it’s hard to spend 4 years at a college without being pushed left
Not really. They just intend to smuggle more Tucker Carlson White Power / David Duke Great Replacement garbage from The Daily Stormer and other Nazis.
Fat chance. How would it fly? Keep min wage; no funds for education; no health/med care and no spending on frivolous things (that happen to be sorely needed) like infrastructure = no jobs & not much opportunity.
Working class values are nonexistent with the GOP, much like the college education of their white voters.
You mean the uneducated and uninformed voters! Thats the best you can do
Then they ought to address poverty, disenfranchisement, unemployment- except that affects black and brown people too....
Or the party of uneducated racists?
Also without an education
The party of working-class voters shouldn’t be giving $1.4 trillion tax cuts to the rich
Well, they did flip the KKK and Jim Crow caucuses from the Dems in the past, so by all means, help yourselves to the rest of the lesser educated white folk.
If republicans get the working class, does that mean I can get some corporation to buy me a Mercedes and a transvestite?
The GOP has been been better at branding than the Democratic Party for a long time. It’s about repetition and easy phrases to remember. The party has lost it’s compass however. If they rebrand, will they focus on it or just come up with catch-phrases and t-shirts?
Yes. Nothing working-class people love more than a party that thinks healthcare-as-a-commodity is a stupendous idea. Tell me more about why people battling cancer should have to come up with thousands a week.
Repeal the Trump tax cuts for the rich first.
What a ridiculous notion.
Working class? Without healthcare? With out a livable wage? Without free access to higher public education? With tax breaks for the rich? What exactly does GOP support when it comes to the working class? They loose more jobs than anyone. Their states are the poorest. WTF? 🤷🏻♂️
Seems to be a party of chomos, rapists, embezzlers, and racists.
Does 'rebrand' mean they're actually going to do anything to help those voters? Or are they just going to get Springsteen to promote white Christian nationalism some more?
Who do everything they can to stiff the working man & give tax cuts to the rich.
If you have to rebrand..you are missing the point. I tried to rebrand as the dude into hot Hispanic women in college. It did not work..yet.
Does the GOP & have a plan to PREVENT American children of African descent from SUFFERING, THRU NO FAULT OF THEIR OWN our Nation's highest rates of potential life-scarring Child Neglect & Maltreatment! ReportSuspectedChildAbuse ☮️♥️🇺🇸 EndHate2021
Be yourself and try to be better.
Which means lying to the working class while pursuing a nakedly elitist agenda to further enrich the 1%, gun manufacturers, and environmental destroyers
It won't happen as long as Fox News & others keeps the lie of Trickle Down Economics and their 'Social Democracy is communism!' attitude. (And that's before you count the bigotry!) Reality itself has a leftist bias. Why do you think most educated people are leftist?
