And you believed it all
They told you that Covid was a hoax
They told you it would disappear in the spring
They told you it was no worse than the flu
They told you that you could cure it by injecting disinfectants
They told you that you could treat it with horse de-wormer
They told you children were immune
They told you the vaccine was fatal
And you believed it all.
They told you the election was 'stolen'
They told you they had the 'evidence'
They told you that their audits would show it
They told you that their lawyers could prove it in court
And you believed it all.
They told you January 6 was 'just another tourist day' at the Capitol
They told you it was BLM, antifa, and the Democrats who rioted
They told you it was the FBI staging a false flag operation
They told you it was a peaceful protest
They even told you it actually never happened
And you believed it all.
If you've ever wondered why intelligent people think RWers are gullible fools, consider all of the above. It only takes a modicum of common sense to understand that only those with NO common sense believe in stories that change every day, in 'facts' that are often contradictory, or in an endless litany of predictions that never come to fruition.
Mike Lindell et al have yet to produce any evidence of a stolen election, Giuliani and Powell lost all of their court cases, prominent anti-vaxxers have died of Covid, and those who know what happened on January 6th are refusing to even discuss that knowledge, no less testify about it under oath.
It truly boggles the mind that anyone with a functioning brain can continue to ignore the obvious - but then, I'm not a member of the party that believes in Jewish Space Lasers, liberals eating children sacrificed in the basement of a DC pizza place, or drinking my own urine while awaiting JFK Jr. to resurrect himself from the dead in order to run as Trump's vice-president in 2024.

And we have a GREAT chance to expand our control of the House and Senate IF DEMOCRATS TURN OUT in November 2022 and get their INDEPENDENT Friends and Family to vote WITH US.
No chance in Hell we can presume ANY rethugs will vote with us, and we CANNOT depend on them AT ALL. Don't waste words or money wooing them.
WE WILL OVERCOME IF ALL OF US do our part.

are begging for copies of the GQP donors list.
... "More true than funny."
It is what it is.
We have a GREAT chance to expand our Congressional majorities and thaw the Glacial Senate if ALL of us do our parts and GOT V in whatever way we can.
GOTV 2022
Under normal circumstances. These days, 'normal' does not even come close to applying. Let's take North Carolina as an example. If we look at image one... this is the result of the 2020 map that got canned by the courts and the Assembly was told to redraw it. They did so... twice. As you can see, rethugs were able to get 8 seats with 49% of the vote, while Democrats got 5 with 50% of the vote. If the run was a close one, these numbers pretty much stay the same, favoring the rethugs.
Now let's look at the newest results. It is under review and there have already been suits filed to change it. (For the fourth time.) Notice that, although the spread does kind of look more equitable at a glance, the numbers show that now, the rethugs would win TEN seats in a close election while the Democrats would get four. Maybe.
So, it would appear that merely 'getting out the vote' will be ineffectual in North Carolina. And, they have become the blueprint (or the redprint in this case I guess) for other states who are doing or have done the same type of thing. It is going to take removing the rethug party from the field to ever hope to fix this mess. They must be 'defanged'. Trouble is... that is not happening, and will not happen any time soon. (I still don't even see a house arrest monitor on any of the orange gibbon's co-conspirators. And, that crap happened in front of the entire world. Not even a harsh glance for the ones who were behind the entire thing.) So, states have been or are being gerrymandered to make electing anyone but them all but impossible. Confidence in our institutions is flagging because of perceived inaction and lack of progressive direction.
I did not say we had lost, but it sure looks like losing to me. Take it from a complete failure... I know what losing looks like.
They cannot stand to be laughed at and made to be horse's asses that they truly are.
The could care less bout logic and facts and science - but understand a good public shaming and laugh fest.
That is why TLP had such success n 2020 - they targeted their laughter specifically at TFG and made sure that those clips were seen on TV in the White House if nowhere else.
Make them mad and they do really really stupid things trying to defend their honor. Win/Win scenario.
