Reply #10: Both Parties Live Orwellian

I laugh everytime I hear when someone says "when are we gonna get back to the issues". The assumption was there were issues being discussed in the first place. It's a time where nuance and what you meant as opposed to what you say as meaning more. It's where image trumps context and lies circle the globe before the truth gets its pants on.

Repugnicans know that surface makes people feel good. Tell 'em their taxes are gonna be cut, just don't tell them it's a lie or it's only for the richest and the rest either have to pay more taxes or go without services. They like to pretend they're "defending the country" by wrapping up in a flag, but few ever served and now gleeful exploit the damage of Vietnam and tearing apart the military.

Shameful, but there's a segment in all society that can't nuance, aren't interested in thinking for themselves and need the certainty of a draconian religion or government to "protect them".
