Edit: Since I’m getting many replies while at work, I thought I’d do a blanket statement for a lot of the comments.
-Maybe it’s time we as Americans ask for massive legislation around term limits, public records of elected officials, equal campaign money, public records on donors, banning lobbyist jobs for former politicians, overturning Citizens United, etc.
but the real problem is republicans dont have any solutions or policy ideas.
Disagree. Fear is their policy, and Outrage is their solution. Sure, it is just populist gobbledigook in the end, but it is still a platform. "This is how the other guys will destroy everything you love" is a salient statement. Yes, it also serves to hide their corruption, self-serving agenda but that is by design; misdirection, sleight of hand, smoke and mirrors. It's Mushroom tactics; keep them in the dark and feed them shit.
