🧵 There simply is nothing Republicans can do, either on taxes or on spending, to change The Narrative™️ that they are the party of "deficit hawks" & fiscal responsibility. It is a permanent, immutable feature of our National Conversation™️, completely detached from any empirical evidence or reality.

Nothing at all. The Narrative™️ cannot fail. It can only be failed.

Absolutely nothing. It simply must be believed. The Discourse requires it to be true.

👇 We shouldn't have to be discussing this in advance of the FOURTH consecutive time in my lifetime that we're going to watch the same movie (massive, deficit-exploding tax cuts as the first thing done by a new GOP administration) again. But here we are.

Sad but true. The same goes for the GOP supposedly being the party of law and order and family values.

They only even appear to care when a Democrat is president

How can this be changed? Evidently voters who elect Republicans pay 0 attention to which party brings financial disaster to America & which party has to, and does, clean up the mess 🤨
