Rep. Greg Murphy on Republicans' pitch to voters: "I'm betting on the understanding of the American people that tough times need to be gone through to get to good times"

Wait, you mean this isn’t the golden age yet?? These guys will say anything and it is sickening. Do they even realize how incredibly stupid they all sound?

That's right, Greg- We're going through tough times, and the only way to get to the good times, is by relieving republicans of their control of both House and Senate.

2008: Bush economic collapse 2009-2016: Obama good times 2020: Trump lies to Americans, pandemic mishandled 2021-2024: Biden economy employs 15 million; decade infrastructure investment 2026–2026: Trump tariffs, tax cuts drive deficits, Trump War, cause inflation of food, fuel, mortgages

That's the domestic abusers' philosophy. People who beat their children and their wives with the excuse it will make them better people. They're doing it for their own good. It's bullshit.

GOP: You need to suffer so the rich can be more comfortable. Is that so hard to understand? Give us all the money! ALSO GOP: How dare you wish to be comfortable too! We can’t afford that!

Wait a minute, didn’t the GOP tell us that Trump would fix everything on day one? Why do we have to wait and suffer? They said it would all be fixed on day one. And it would be the greatest time ever in history of America. They didn’t say anything about going through tough times?

We need to tax wealth and reverse the tax cuts for the wealthy back to Clinton and maybe Eisenhower. So yes, maybe the wealthy will need to sell that fourth yacht or sixth home. Tough times indeed!

Yeah. Two more years of "tough times" until we purge ourselves of the rapist, felon, insurrectionist, con man, pedophile, and "GOOD TIMES" immediately follow. Greg made a smart bet on the American People having "GOOD TIMES" after Fat Orange Jesus is gone. I feel good just thinking about it.

We went throught bad times...Covid. Then Biden navigated the country so it was back on a path for good times. Things were getting better. And then Trump came in and, through one bad policy after another, reversed course. Now, we're heading again to bad times.

If they actually believed this, then why did “Make America Great Again” ever become a thing… because if we’re supposed to endure the hard times, then why campaign so hard about how horrible things are & on changing it 🙃

Remember how people considered it an affront to God if they were forced to put on a mask during the pandemic? Good luck with that sales pitch, Murphy.

While voters may agree with that sentiment in general, he's missing the part where voters think he and the GOP are causing the tough times and can't be trusted to bring the good times.

I'm 50, I went through Dot Com, Y2k, 2000 Stolen election, 9/11, Iraq War 2.0, 08 Financial Crisis, Austerity, Too Big To Fail, Trump 1, Covid 19, Insurrection 1, Epstein, Panama Papers, Trump 2.0, Inflation, laid off 3 times, $4 gas... when the fuck are the good times supposed to happen?

Greg -- are you going through 'tough times' personally? If no, then you shouldn't ask for others to accept a thing you created.

"The Economy, Stupid," "Change vs. More of the same," and "Don't forget healthcare" got Clinton into office. And that was when voters were complaining because the economy wasn't growing fast enough, not like today's economic freefall.

"If we lose the house, it's just impeachment-impeachment-impeachment-investigation, that's what people are going to see for two years." Promise?

But - and I am a Republican Refugee/#nevertrump er - I thought the whole message was that the tough times were Biden’s fault and Trump was going to fix everything? Now it’s Make America Great Again… Someday? Eventually? TBD? 🤷‍♀️

To be clear. We all know what happened. This ain't a "the universe created an environment that couldn't be predicted thing.". This is a y'all decided to bomb Iran thing.

He’s betting the American people will be gullible enough to think republicans will ever share some of the good times his friends and family are currently enjoying.

No reality check, no facts, just fear mongering and a dumb, head bobbing accomplice posing as a journalist/reporter. For the last 4 Republican presidents…each one has gotten us into a war and plunged our economy into a recession, all while making the rich, richer.

WHAT? What the hell is wrong with you? Tough times imposed on us by our government is NOT acceptable PERIOD You got it wrong and who even says something like that? We do our part & expect the people we hired to do their jobs! & NO taxpayer $ for political ads

“We don’t need to be spending taxpayers’ dollars on impeachment after impeachment.” I guess she’s fine with it being spent on recess.

The American people understand loser trump/republicans made America FUBAR, so the trumpfia's pitch is MORE of THAT? Trump does not care and will just take his personal winnings and bask in his US 30% cult adulation.

I’m wondering how America thinks the most corrupt people in America led by the King of Corruption can root out corruption in government while pardoning the country’s most heinous AND CONVICTED fraudsters?

Biden corrected the damage Trump did first term and left the country with the best economy in a long time. Then Trump destroyed it again. So, no, jackass, Americans do not want you having any more chance to worsen things. Step aside and watch and learn, when Dems take over.

This aligns with a right-wing, traditionalist, and "manosphere" political philosophy that emphasizes personal grit, masculine accountability, and conservative alarmism about modern societal softness or cultural decline. So there is nothing surprising about a Republican pushing this.
