(53,369 posts)can keep up this charade? Now they just lie about anything and everything. Surely on some level, they must know that they can't sustain this forever. Or maybe they lie so much, they don't even know what the truth is anymore. I've been around compulsive liars and they often lie like other people breath.

(9,917 posts)a substantial stops believing what they say.
I don't see an end of it soon unfortunately and at a loss as to the best track forward.
Plow forward; keep our house in order; enact fair progressive egalitarian legislation and policy when not blocked; and hope some of the cult notices that their lives are better.
These cheaters and grifters need to pay a cost for their malfeasance. Les than severe punishment of the 1/6 participants and what is going on in media about the Afghanistan exit is troubling.

(53,369 posts)they will start losing support. They really aren't offering their base anything aside from perpetual outrage and that doesn't pay the rent or medical bills. There will always be hardcore MAGA types, but so many others are going to lose interest. Maybe Cruz has been saving his money and he can just retire to Cancun.

(2,682 posts)...other assholes look at and say, "Now THERE'S an asshole!"
In a party filled with Trump lickspittles, toadies, and ass-kissers, "Fled" Cruz might well be the smarmiest crapweasel of them all.

(17,886 posts)accused Cruz of being the Zodiac Killer in the 2016 race. It was stupid because Cruz was born too late to be the Zodiac Killer, but people dust off the insult and use it once in a while because Cruz is such an asshole.

(7,266 posts).... was the Zodiac Killer. Can't remember why; it was a parody of all the weird conspiracy theories going around. It might have been a reaction to TFG claiming his father was involved in the Kennedy assination.

(22,807 posts)The nose, in particular, is way off. Cruz has a rather *cough* distinctive nose, and that ain't it.

(51,501 posts)so they must have moved quickly away from the blue counties on the border and got into the red counties outside Dallas and Houston because they're sneaky like that
Orrex
(67,319 posts)All of this bullshit about "illegals spreading pestilence" is a clear echo of Nazi propaganda to dehumanize Jews.
What a surprise that Trump's cult of ignorant, racist fuckheads would rally behind the same mode of thinking.
CharleyDog
(823 posts)what a terrible place this can be, racist, xenophobic, scapegoating the most vulnerable. The rest of us have to work doubly hard to overcome our history/current actions of hatred.

(5,276 posts)One wonders where we are headed with one party having copious numbers of people either off their rocker or covering for those off their rocker. We are headed toward a reckoning, hopefully sanity wins.
