"I'm not a pedophile/cannibal/mass murderer, but I support the right of others to be one!"

[Atticus]

What would you think of someone who made such an outrageous statement? Would not just being in the same room with them make your skin crawl? Would you even consider voting for them?

Republicans say they resent being characterized as lying idiots, but they cheerfully accept the likes of Johnson and Gohmert.

Republicans claim they're offended by being called fascists, but they've never criticized or disciplined Cotton or Cruz or Jordan.

They insist they support our democratic government while standing behind Hawley and Boebert and Taylor-Greene.

And, the GOPers huff and puff and stamp their little feet if someone even mentions dishonest hypocrisy, but they continue to empower shameless liars like McConnell, McCarthy and Graham to speak for them.

"Birds of a feather---", folks. "Birds of a feather---".

3. DECADES of slandering democrats as socialists/communists and everything else

they can dream up ... Then use their being called out for the fascists they are as justification for them being fascists.

That the media and a good portion buys this kind of bullshit is why we are in D E E P trouble.
