Republican War Against Women

Women have always had it more difficult than men. Look back at Republican Donald Trump bragging about sexual assault to many aspects of Western culture and society. American women's rights are stripped away. Title IX's application in college sexual-assault cases was dialed back. The Republicans want to defund Planned Parenthood which provides countless non-abortion medical procedures. The GOP supports legislation to ban abortion after 20 weeks, and a majority of late-term abortions are performed after health concerns for the mother, the fetus, or both.

Republican War On Unions

The GOP fears whenever workers are able to bargain collectively and seize power in their workplaces, claiming this is a bad thing, not a good thing. 

Republicans know that unions are one of the Democratic Party’s key sources of funding and organizing, so if they can be destroyed it means Democrats will be weaker.

Republican War Against Trumps Tarrifs

The GOP is criticizing #Trump's tariff policies, which erupted into a full-fledged trade war with China.

Republican leaders are cool a bill to limit President Donald Trump's ability to impose tariffs, which would likely have to overcome a veto.

Trump threatened more tariffs, while the U.S. already faces retaliation from Canada, Mexico, European Union, and other allies.

Republican War Against Taxes

The wealthy do not like to pay taxes, so the Republican focus of the IRS from implementation distracts from developing new forms needed to determine how much taxpayers owe. It also hinders examinations and enforcement, which have suffered as appropriations have dwindled, as shown by reduced audit rates.
