"The science should not stand in the way of this." Do you hear how they gaslight everything?

"The science should not stand in the way of this.” - White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany, referring to school reopening.

"You can't plan for something that hasn't happened yet." - Department of Education Secretary Betsy Devos

Is this just fuzzy-headed thinking to ignore subpoenas, court orders, rule of law, regulations? No matter what it is they twist, reverse, gaslight, deny, demur, ignore what they don't want to hear and throw it back at you in a way they want it to play out. Yet they're never responsible for what happens.

Something to keep an ear open for.

1. It's important to go to school to learn science so it can be ignored when lives are at stake

2. Repubs have always thought this way,

but now in the age of tRump they can vocalize it.

3. You can't plan for something that hasn't happened yet?

That makes no sense. Why do we develop new military arms? What the hell is a wedding planner do? Who doesn’t plan a vacation. Now if pregnant, make no preparations.

McA-ninny.

4. "The science should not stand in the way of this." This statement is...

too insane to actually be believed.

5. She says that

Then immediately says "Everyone else in the western world is opening schools".

Doubling the gaslighting!

What they aren't saying is countries that are opening schools actually addressed Covid on a national level and like adults, unlike the cluster in this country!!

6. Hey MAGAninny - you just look stupid when you say stupid shit.

Everybody is laughing at you.

7. It's how they think

The modern GOP has long worked on what I call a "faith based" way of thinking. They decide how things SHOULD work, and then act as if that is the way things work. When evidence presents itself to the contrary, they ignore it, attack it, or blame it on liberal influences.

8. "Today we're going to say something that is X level absurd and our followers will buy it.."

"Tomorrow 2X, the day after 4X, then 8X and so on. Some day, we will instruct them to do something horrible. They will be ready."

9. Refilter the logic in these proclamations from McEnany and Devos for Election Night

'Results should not stand in the way of a second term.'

'Cheating? You can't plan for something that hasn't happened yet.'

That's what I hear. We're being softened up for Election Theft and we'd better find as many ways as possible to be vigilant and to make our elections airtight!
