More lies you can believe in

And so, the republicans are talking about ‘Law and Order’ and making speeches against ‘socialism and anarchy’. They are using the language and demeanor of statesmen and ‘tisk tisking’ the democrat’s unwillingness to compromise.
But what are the democrats refusing to compromise with? A republican bill that does extraordinarily little to address the reality of police brutality and does nothing to address the systemic causes that create it.
Yes, the republicans are using the language of statesmen, but as always, the lip service they pay to the language of statesmanship only gives cover to their policies of racial division and subjugation.
As always, the republicans are using lies their constituents can believe in.
