DID YOU KNOW THE REPUBLICAN’S PLAN IS TO FOOL YOU?
Republicans want you to think everyone was lying about budget cuts!
The Republican’s strategy behind their HUGE budget cuts outlined in ‘The Big Beautiful Bill’ was intentionally designed to come into effect only AFTER the 2026 midterm elections.
Why is this the case?
The Republicans want to delay the negative impact of their budget cuts until AFTER voters have already made their decisions at the polls. Republicans know the significant challenges they face in the upcoming 2026 midterm elections… And Republicans plan on trying to deceive and mislead voters in an effort to maintain their majority.
DO NOT FALL FOR THIS LIE! DO NOT LET THEM FOOL YOU!
Stay vigilant, educated, and up-to-date!
VOTE THEM OUT 2026!!
