 NY Times: For Republicans, ‘Crisis’ Is the Message as the Outrage Machine Ramps Up - With next year’s midterm elections seen as a referendum on Democratic rule, Republicans are seeking to create a sense of instability and overreach, diverting focus from their own divisions. By Jonathan Weisman

I was wondering when you'd see this article.

"Republicans have long been better than Democrats at imparting a sense of crisis..."
What a freakin' understatement! The grevience vote is 74 million strong.

“I guess you can say we (DEMS) don’t gin up phony crises...At some point, the public turns back to what they think is reasonable leadership.” "Democrats have not been able to get traction EVEN ON THE Capitol riot"!!
God help us, the Dems will never get it.

"...Representative Elise Stefanik of New York...hatched the crisis strategy as one of her first ventures..."
The future is here, young & female and pregnant. Be afraid, be very afraid.

I've been trying to understand this for a long time. It's trying, to say the least, it's infuriating, and it's deeply disappointing. Still this is what we have to deal with and being aware of it is important.
