but in too many cases, that's redundant.

Like everything else they talk about...Fiscal responsibility, family values, patriotism...people need to stop believing these cretins, they are and have been the bigger traitors, the enemies of the country for too many years.

Everything you listed and more, such as religious devotion, are all hats. Just a cover, never a part of who they really are. They put them on when they want to make an impression, but peel 'em off and toss 'em in the corner as soon as they gather behind closed doors.

I still can't believe people fall for it. But then, how many fell for it every time Dim Donald hugged and kissed the American flag, uncontrollably smirking at the absurdity and phoniness of the gesture?

I bet not one person in that January 6th insurrection voted for a Democrat. And they wanted to kill Nancy Pelosi. They were quite vocal about it. They singled out her and Mike Pence by name, and they vandalized her office, even pulling down the sign outside her office and posing for photos proudly holding splintered pieces of it for all the world to see.

I don’t know and have never known ANY Democrat who wanted that.

It might have been true up until Reagan - no, strike that, even Reagan had his soft spot for terrorists (re: the Contra affair) - how many Republicans rebuked Trump for NOT standing up to Putin, putting a bounty on US soldiers' heads? The GOP, post-Eisenhower, has been an outlaw organization.
