Republicans have a major strategic advantage in terms of narrative control because all of them, from swing district Rs like Mike Lawler all the way to the true blue MAGA, are willing to ruthlessly exploit tragedy to score political points.

Republicans have no advantage I can see - I think Buttigieg said it best: ZERO Commercial Fatalities Under Biden with so called DEI - Lets drown out these idiots with facts!
That’s the least of their advantages.
The #1 advantage is Dems refuse to establish a coordinated organized REPETITIVE msg operation and engage in performative attention getting acts to connect.
The #2 advantage is Dems are clueless abt the mission of a coherent strategy.
The #3 advantage is talk abt
2/Liberty conjures doing what the fck you want, whereas talking Justice involves restrictions and trade offs
The #4 advantage is Dems rely on polls to formulate strategy leaving Repubs to lie and cheat. I can give you major top line examples fr personal experience
The 5th Advantage is Dems are Wimps
Has a single democrat demanded the reinstatement of the 100 FAA staff who were canned in light of this disaster? That's one way to make clear that the blame falls on Trump's shoulders for firing these people while not directly finger pointing and inviting the "too soon!!!" charges. #whywearelosing
And because they stay on message. No matter what the issue, the blame it on libs, Biden or DEI. And they do it repeatedly. They answer every single question with some version of placing that blame.
So maybe Dems should do the same. Every problem is the result of Trump and his failed MAGA agenda.
Knowing that it hasn’t seemed to have happened yet, isn’t this a risky strategy for Republicans because, undoubtedly, at some point, it’s going to backfire?

The GOP would not suggest anything if Biden/Harris was in office. They would state as fact it is their fault going viral on almost all media outlets.
