feed it to them in a trickle (as opposed to firehose), maybe they'll grasp it eventually.

People who say obviously bullshit stupid things like, "It wasn't that Donal Trump won the election, it was that the Democratic Party lost the election" and that Trump voters aren't racists. BULLSHIT.

"a belief that any means justifies the end". Common in every Rethug I've ever known.

Thanks for posting that list. Our public needs to be aware of the dangers of creeping fascism.

Same with evangelical Christians: It's OK to lie, cheat, steal and deceive so long as you bring in more member donors and right-wing voters.

They and Republicans make good bedfellows but to the detriment of America.

Thanks again.....
