(54,372 posts)I get that they all watch Fox Noise and think that interruption of someone you think might give an answer you don't like is legitimate discourse. But when they all basically come out and say exactly the same thing and use the same words, it's pretty obvious they are following a script they worked out in advance.
I wonder if they ever saw the film "Z" about the fascist takeover in Greece in 1967? At the end, a prosecutor questions a line of corrupt government officials involved in the murder of a popular opposition figure, and they ALL use the same phrases in their answers. The prosecutor is removed and the fascists take over until the uprising of 1974. The film was made before they were booted out. I hope we don't go there, but listening Republicans with their nasty smirks using the same expressions over and over, one after another, gave me the creeps. These were no questions derived from true inquiry, but rather scripted remarks.
