"They" have been brainwashed by Fox, GOP pols, hate talk radio/TV, their "pastors," their own ....

[Botany]

.. insular group of family and friends, and right wing troll bots/social media (Russian in many cases) that
Speaker Pelosi was their enemy because she had a "liberal agenda." Speaker Pelosi's liberal agenda is
what she has PUBLICLY RUN ON, WAS ELECTED BY HER CONSTITUENTS TO DO, AND HAS WORKED FOR
ALL HER CAREER now people may disagree with her views but she has every right to do and say what she
did and does under our Constitution but it is the hate talkers and so on on the right that have made her a
target of their bile and hate.

In Ohio JD Vance has been running ads non stop linking Speaker Pelosi to Tim Ryan although after the
attack on Paul Pelosi he has deleted the picture of Speaker Pelosi which made her look old and ugly.

We have the solution and that is to vote and vote in massive #s.

1. At long last, they have no decency

[gab13by13]

2. I believe it was always there

lurking under the surface.

[Botany]

3. "They" haven't had any decency since Joe McCarthy and Richard Nixon with his stopping LBJ's peace ...

... deal in Vietnam (Nixon signed the exact same deal in 1973) and his "southern strategy." BTW one of
the finest men I have ever known was Gov. Ray Shafer of PA. He was our next door neighbor's brother
and a Republican too.

[yardwork]

4. All the decent Republicans are gone.

[Walleye]

7. I think the last good Republican was Mike Castle of Delaware

In 2010. He would’ve been senator, no doubt, but Sean Hannity and his tea party ilk decided to run Christine O’Donnell against him in the primary. Primaries were very new to Delaware and Republicans were expecting Castle to be nominated. Their “not a witch” O’Donnell was soundly defeated by our current Senator Chris Coons. Mike Castle was a very good guy. Delaware Republican party has never recovered. At this point everything Republicans do is simply out of spite

[jaxexpat]

12. Spite and the ravings of lost souls.

[plimsoll]

18. Gingrich made a concerted effort to purge the GOP of all moderates.

It took him a few years, but he and his followers have achieved their goals. I always liked Dan Evans (Republican Washington State Governor) and despite the fact that his successor was a Democrat (who I did not like) we had better governance under his tenure.

[Walleye]

6. I remember Shafer he was a very good guy

[Botany]

9. He liked to play ball with the kids in the neighborhood. We saw him all the time and nobody ...

.... would think of bothering him when he was in the neighborhood.

[geardaddy]

14. This!

[JHB]

13. "At long last" was a couple of decades ago.

They've been on this precise trajectory since Newt & Rush.

And headed in the same general direction for even longer.

5. "Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance

and conscientious stupidity." - Martin Luther King Jr.

Embracing hate is a personal choice.

[liberalla]

16. That is a great quote! I've never heard that before... Thanks.

[iluvtennis]

19. Yes, it's from a doctor King speech in 1963. He was a brilliant man.

8. Perfect Shit Storm. Vlad's glad. Believe me.

[Botany]

10. Vlad installed Trump in order to cause civil unrest inside of America and to weaken NATO

He was successful.

11. The pelosi puppet add all over iowa

Makes me sick....

Kind of like the local magat cops endorsement of the rethug atty. General candidate because the AG didn't get conviction for them. Local prosecutor try criminal cases you lying SOB and you all know it.

[The Grand Illuminist]

15. Not brainwashed.

They know what they are doing. They made a choice on their own free will.

[GreenWave]

20. It is more like they want to revalidate their stupidty.

[The Grand Illuminist]

25. Either way, it's free will

17. Rule number one of propaganda:

Repeat a lie often enough and people will begin to believe it.

[Botany]

27. Goebbels "The Big Lie."

“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it."

[dlk]

28. Exactly

We are watching it happen in real time.

[Initech]

21. Hate propaganda is a multi billion dollar a year industry in this country.

Which is why it will never go away no matter how badly we want it to.

[Dustlawyer]

22. Propaganda and Campaign Finance are the two root causes of most of our problems.

Nothing will improve unless and until we address these root causes.

[Botany]

24. look how many people believe the Republican/Fox News produced lie that President Biden is ....

... responsible for inflation.

[marieo1]

23. Right wing control

Republicans have been descending into extremism for a long time. They know they can't control and overthrow America any other way. I hate to think what will happen when all of us older liberals are dead and gone. I'm afraid USA will sink into total extremism. For our kids and Grandkids it will be a disaster. The beautiful quiet days of my childhood are long gone!!

[Midnight Writer]

26. Around here, kids are raised to say "Yes, Sir!" to The Bossman and "Hallelujah!" to The Preacher.

So when all the Bosses and all the Preachers tell folks to support Republicans, they do.

Trump is a combination of The Bossman and The Preacher. He was promoted as The Tough Bossman for years on The Apprentice and he adopts the style and appearance of The Televangelist Preacher (big hair, expensive suits, private jet, loud talk, speaks in definitive and bombastic terms).

It's no surprise the rubes love him. He is a walking symbol of working-class authority figures.

29. The would-be assassin spoke of fighting tyranny. Wonder where he got that idea?
