What lengths do Republicans and especially Trumpers go to win elections.
But, we are ABOVE THEM, BETTER THAN THEM, WE PLAY FAIR, etc. etc.

Yep. I used to feel that way.
That was pre Trump.
These are desperate times.
My little lie to my admittedly asshole partner does not bother me at all.
I’ve caught my partner in many more important lies than this.
Like I said, I knew MOST people here would hate this. Good for you.
But I want to do whatever I can to save my democracy.

The partner in this scenario is a rightwinger/trumpie... Think. Again. Mar 25 #29

Such relationships are doomed, I would think, if this is the way they handle things. Maybe that's why there are so many SWBTATTReg Mar 25 #31

Yes, and I'm sure it's a good thing for sane people to break relationships with rightwingers. Think. Again. Mar 25 #33
