(25,519 posts)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.

(14,490 posts)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.....
