They're doing the same thing to Lamont here in CT re the state's finances, despite the cold hard facts to the contrary. I expect soon we'll be hearing about CT elementary schools teaching pole dancing and Critical Race Theory.
They just keep hammering on about how awful is Connecticut -- crime-wise (though the data doesn't bear that out) and economically (ditto). That's not to say some people aren't struggling (or that crime has stopped) but come ON.
I wish there could be an honest, political discussion of this issue between the Republicans & Democrats so that solutions could be determined. Republicans continually avoid working on humanitarian solutions and instead weaponize the issue against the Democrats. I really dispise the way they use vulerable people. They are not even close to behaving like Christians, despite being the loudest at claiming they are!
Remember a few years ago when comments remarking on the dates of linked articles were a-bloom like dandelions on rundown conventional suburban lawns? Sometimes usefully (No need to panic! It's been fixed!) and sometimes apropos of nothing, really.
I can recognize a tree, but it was over a year before I learned where this came from: quite a good list of suggested conceptual tools for reading articles critically. This one being the low-rent one, it was seized on eagerly and the rest ignored.
I so wish USians humans weren't so typically averse to thinking. :(
Thanks for calling it what it is. The Big Lie and not misinformation. That terms drives me crazy.
Unfortunately too much prefer to drink the koolaid rather than actually checking for facts. And the proliferation of these groups that post ads under different names disgusts me. And while I’m at it, I want to vomit every time I hear that new Stephanowski ad!
Hannah Arendt. Advocate. Yell, if that’s a tendency: out loud????
Having a degree from the New School for Social Research, I watch with some anxiety as the words, “Iron Fist,” and phrases like “win at all cost” become common rhetoric of the MAGA Republicans.
Ron DeSatan claims illegal aliens are wrecking havoc in storm torn areas of Florida. They are stealing and spreading diseases, yee gads! Now I understand they are being sent in to help!

If you have to claim you’re a Christian, you’d be better off making your acts speak for yourself.
You can lead a goofball to facts but you can’t make them think
Well done.
This is the Repugnican strategy:
Deny, defer, deflate, deflect, distract
They have no platform, so they have to rely on the above strategy to advance their causes.
People need to reject this nonsense. Get out and vote - and vote blue.
I just keep asking for proof on social media. And I try to include links that refute the nonsense. I don’t think that’s helping much.
Keep doing it, but the Repugnicans do not want to be confronted by or confused with facts. You will not get through to them.
I guess not.
I think that all testimony is for the silent on-the-fence persons probably present-- and that you never know where testimony may travel to.
But it's all so lowering. :(
Isn’t it just?
Many people prefer to let others do the lying and hating for them. It’s how they fool themselves into believing that they are good people.
And as an aside, Cruz has a lot of nerve for a guy whose testicles are in a jar on a shelf in Mar-a -Largo.
Probably down in the basement with the other stuff the DOJ can’t find.

It doesn’t serve any of us.

Hi ho! Let’s go! RRR 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
(I chanted that last part in my head.)
I am going to hope you are wrong (no offense).
