According to Google, a definition for swag is “Short for “swagger,” describing someone with a cool, confident, and fashionable demeanor. If someone says you “have swag,” it means your personal style and attitude are on point.” Or you can go to Webster’s and their definition of swag is “bold or brash self-confidence.”
Whatever these definitions, the Republican party doesn’t have any right now. No swag. They’ve lost their mojo. We’re not draining the swamp by getting rid of all the fraudulent and corrupt spending left by President Biden’s big government socialism.
And we’re not helping middle-class folks so they won’t have to pay taxes on Joe Biden’s inflation. There’s no growth from the GOP. And no swamp draining.
Nowadays the young people talk about rizz and aura. Google’s definition of rizz, which is short for charisma, is “having a smooth, confident, and magnetic personality.” And the definition for aura is “a person’s coolness, star power, or suave swagger.” As usual the young people have it right, and whatever their total meaning, the Republican party doesn’t have that either.
While the President is fighting a war to end the nuclear threats to freedom and civilization from radical Islam, the Republicans and the House and Senate are doing him and the GOP midterm election outlook no favors. They are bungling budget policy.
They are bungling the affordability issue. They are bungling the growth issue. They are concocting weird inside the beltway word-salad reasons why they’re not getting anything done that will actually help make life easier for hardworking taxpayers.
Inflation indexing capital gains or raising the exemption for gains on the sale of homes should be easy. Curbing hundreds and hundreds of billions of waste, fraud, and corruption should be easy. Then you put in the funding for voter ID, the Save America bill, and the military supplemental for Iran.
There’s nothing hard about this. But the GOP leadership is letting everyone down. Whether it’s swag, swagger, rizz, aura, or how about just plain messaging. The GOP doesn’t have any of it.
