8. Fact-checking? Republicans don't need it. They have Faith.

And if your facts and evidence cast doubt on their beliefs, well, that's just the devil tempting them. When you truly believe, you can keep believing despite the facts. Besides, it says right in the Bible that Obamacare is a disaster and that the deal with Iran will give them nuclear weapons, not prevent them from developing them. If you can't find the exact verse, that's OK, as long as you believe hard enough that it's in there. (I think it's in the Epistle of Jeff to the Efficacians.)

Besides, fact-checking is like footnotes. People just ignore them. Saddam Hussein proved that on 9/11.
