(58,785 posts)Dishonesty to self and others is our nation's biggest political problem, one that threatens to destroy us all. And specifically US first.
When EVERYONE knows tsunamis of anti-Democratic deceits elect Republicans and defeat Democrats, allying with those who generate and spread smears and deceits is no more innocent for those on the left than it is for RWers. It's not accidental. It's not ignorant. It's not new, nor are its consequences. For most it's a pattern of years, and they seek out favorite hostile agents and share the fellowship of the group with other spreaders.
Everyone knows this behavior could once again hand the next, existential election to the Republicans, and some must understand that they risk turning themselves into timid, silenced, impoverished citizens of a RW authoritarian state. Crazy.
