@Ryan_Parkerrr I'd show my ID. What a stupid question.

Some of the crazy policies Democrats have in store for next January in Olympia:

- a statewide payroll tax on jobs, modeled after Seattle’s disastrous jump start head tax

- a new tax on unrealized capital gains, which is money you’ve invested for things like retirement but have not collected

- tripling property taxes and increasing it annually by inflation and population

- reduce the threshold of the new state income tax below $1M to apply to the middle class if not defeated in November

- a new “margins tax” scheme (analysis tbd)

- more reckless spending and more deficits where democrats cut from the vulnerable in programs that work, to give even more to their special interests in programs that do nothing but make everything worse.

- effectively eliminating juvenile detention for juvenile gang offenders like the Bite of Seattle shooter

- using state government to sell and distribute hard drugs like fentanyl

- eliminating penalties for sex offenders who pray on children

- close down prisons and early release violent criminals into communities

- reduce law enforcement, eliminate bail, and destroy our criminal justice system by making it impossible to obtain a public defense, effectively releasing criminals before they ever see a court room

- redistricting Republican lawmakers out of existence to create a permanent and generational democratic super majority (the most dangerous)

You might have read this list and had a gut reaction that this is rhetorical politics. But every one of the things I just listed are actual legislation that democrats have introduced in Olympia recently or policy recommendations passed to them by their allies. They’ve already promised these. All are just a few things Republicans were able to defeat along with the few moderate Democrats left in Olympia.

If Democrats in Olympia are emboldened by results in November, and the moderate Democrats replaced by socialist Democrats, this is just a taste of what we are in for.

I don’t know about you, but that list is absolutely a devastating failure that will take reasonable people a generation to come back from.

60% of WA voters who did not vote in the last election were Republicans and Independents. That means we have an opportunity to save ourselves before it’s too late, push back together against socialism and communism, and demand reason and common sense once again.

If the list I provided isn’t motivation to vote, nothing is.

I’ve heard “what do republicans in WA stand for?”
- free markets and capitalism, not cronyism or socialism
- lower taxes and more of your money left in your own pocket, we introduced billions in tax relief from property taxes, gas taxes, sales taxes, and more.
- combatting our drug crisis with accountability and treatment, not free needles and houses with no rules.
- protecting victims of crime, including sexual assault and domestic violence survivors, and protecting children from abuse and neglect.
- a small government that protects those who cannot protect themselves, and does what it’s supposed to do very efficiently.
- fiscal responsibility with balanced budgets that live within their means and produce tangible results for all Washingtonians.
- ensuring our social safety net lifts people up and makes them whole and productive, not forever dependent on politicians
- promoting justice and accountability with a robust and fair public safety system that is well-funded, respected, and supported.
- protecting your constitutional rights as found in the U.S. and WA State Constitutions, not by erasing the rights others find inconvenient.
- promoting a transportation system with high quality roads that reduce traffic, increase freight mobility, and improve our environmental quality - with transit systems that are efficient, clean, and safe.
- infrastructure improvements that help development of housing and jobs, improve the quality of life in WA, and lower costs

@1BethDutton There's no expectation of privacy in public.

[Kathy MacDonald @Scottishlass711]

@PatriciaHeaton Bigger question, why are they actually getting into office? Their first act as an elected official is to lie when they take the oath of office to defend and protect America.

[Kathy MacDonald @Scottishlass711]

@laralogan Same reason a lot of them do. They ignore the fact that they were sent to office to represent the people who voted for them. Instead, they get in office and make personal choices even if it goes against their constituents. Ball less creatures.

[Kathy MacDonald @Scottishlass711]

@EricLDaugh Sounds like someone needs to grow a pair that aren't just anatomically correct.

[Kathy MacDonald @Scottishlass711]

@ZeekArkham Love his content, been following a while now!

[Kathy MacDonald @Scottishlass711]

@mattvanswol Very well said!

[Kathy MacDonald @Scottishlass711]

@VigilantFox @jasonrantz does a good job on that show. I don't know how he goes into that den of harpies time and time again but he more than holds his own.

[Kathy MacDonald @Scottishlass711]

@ZeekArkham @CinemaShogun Agreed Zeek. If Shawn were the type to push back on people and not just let them spew their b.s. I'd watch it. But I already know from past shows that he doesn't. It will just be the candy show but for almost 5 hours. No thanks.

[Kathy MacDonald @Scottishlass711]

@ZeekArkham @RNCResearch She's still around?

[Kathy MacDonald @Scottishlass711]

@Oscar1051128 @BrandiKruse @hannahkrieg Guys, dont' engage with bots.

[Kathy MacDonald @Scottishlass711]

@mattvanswol I'm so sorry you're both dealing with this. I can't understand how people can decide to hate anyone who doesn't think like them-especially if they knew you before they found out. But to be honest, you haven't lost one friend, they never were to walk away so easily.

[Kathy MacDonald @Scottishlass711]

@GuntherEagleman Now do Bill Gates.

[Kathy MacDonald @Scottishlass711]

@CyndyGrRock @CinemaShogun Its called sarcasm

[Kathy MacDonald @Scottishlass711]

@Shawn_Farash It would be nice but they are too conditioned and unable to think independently or critically.

[Kathy MacDonald @Scottishlass711]

@0hour1 Sadly true. Governor of Washington has one of the worst cases.

[Kathy MacDonald @Scottishlass711]

@jcaguiluz03 @CinemaShogun Why are you following/commenting if you're sure he's paid off? Just scroll by & leave it. The same people make the same comments about people posting over & over. Doesn't make you look any better than what you're saying about them.

[Kathy MacDonald @Scottishlass711]

@mattvanswol You move on. If they do something for that reason, they lack the ability for rational & independent thinking & you will never be able to reason with them. In the end they are unhappy people you will be better off not being around. It may hurt, but it's ultimately their loss.

[Kathy MacDonald @Scottishlass711]

@mattvanswol I stopped watching them. If people are going to lie to me or be one sided, I don't waste my time with them.
