Some hard truths for Trump Republicans: [View all]

No, Hillary Clinton is not worse than Vladimir Putin. Your hate is not rational. You are a victim of right-wing propaganda.

No, Russia is not our friend. They are attempting to tear down our country, even as we speak. It is not "a good thing" to get along with Russia when they continue to try and destroy our democracy. Your president is wrong.

No, unless you are in the top 1%, the tax cut was not for you. Don't be ignorant. Most working Republicans have seen their taxcut disappear already, just from gas prices and inflation. Like George Carlin once said, "it's a big club and you're not part of it".

No, FOX News does not tell you the truth. They have become nothing more than "State News" for the White House. There is a reason that Trump skips CNN and calls on FOX reporters. They are the "fake news".

No, the press is not the "enemy of the people'. If you buy that crap, it is you that are the enemy of the people. The press is always the enemy in authoritarian and totalitarian regimes. We do not wish that upon America.

No, the flag is not meant to be sullied by those that disrespect all those that have fought and died for it. Tyrants wrap themselves in the flag and wave the Bible in self-righteous ways.

No, if you want to know what the Trump Derangement Syndrome looks like, just look in the mirror. You cannot call yourself Americans if you continue to ignore what is being done to our country in your name. You are betraying everything about America.
