What makes the nation vulnerable is that 1 out of 3 will consistently fall for the lies, hypocrisy, etc.

So they keep bashing Dems over nothing while defending the indefensible from their own party and the media keeps making it sound "fair and balanced."

The GOP's leaders are not deluded or myopic, they are just manipulating those who are.

We have to stop thinking that if we present our case to them in the right way it will eventually make a difference.
