In reply to the discussion: Democrats need to confront the stone cold truth. [View all]hadEnuf
(3,490 posts)28. Word.
Republicans are never going to speak out against the Big Lie.
Republicans will continue to do everything they can to push the big lie. They are ignoring and validating the 1/6 coup attempt and that says it all.
They are never going to be converted with facts or the truth.
They do not want or care about facts or truth. They want power. Period.
Democrats cannot compromise with lies and conspiracy theories.
When we try to, they then know that anything is possible.
There is no nice way to call them bald-faced liars that are supporting an insurrection against our country.
Exactly. Tell them and the country what they are. Over and over and over.
There is no middle ground for them to stand on, so long as they cling to lies and delusions.
And we need to make that position clear, dismiss them out of hand, and stick with that.
We are where we are.
Yes we sure are. It is not just a bad dream or a game.
The Republicans are never going to change until the voters change them.
All of the above. They need to be beaten, plain and simple. Nothing else will resonate.
In my opinion, that is the reality we are confronting.
Again, Word.
When they show you who they are, believe them.
We'd better....

Must be done now. No time to wait. I fear 2022 will be a repeat of 2010 midterm.

Absolutely correct. We watch and scream "They can't get away with that" and they get away with it.
