It doesn't matter what you actually do anymore, they'll make up worse, they'll twist, they will cast aspersions, they will swiftboat, they will invent out of thin air.and they will lie and use a circus mirror level of distortion.

They are very little different than those we have long opposed, it just took a while for them to get their turn at bat, apparently.

I am beyond disappointed at the caliber of much of our citizenry, I wonder if they have no line they won't cross or depth they will not sink to to protect wealth, power, and privilege of the objects of worship.
