... "Crazed Democrat opens fire at shopping mall."
"School children massacred by liberal anti-gun advocate."
"Dozens dead after self-proclaimed progressive enters church armed with assault rifle."
"Gay nightclub burned to the ground by left-leaning Independent voter."
"Pro-choicer bombs anti-abortion headquarters."
We all know who the shooters, the arsonists, and the bombers are - and we all know which party encouraged them.
Can we as a nation - at the very least - stop pretending otherwise?

Last week the CNN cable news anchors were told to not use the term the "Big Lie," any more. I don't watch much cable, but I have watched some this week and I have not heard 1 cable news anchor from CNN or MSNBC say, "the Big Lie."

Evangelical, semi-theocratical movement or temperment of Americans who stand against abortion, sexual education, homosexuality, science, anti-Zionism, and the separation of church and state.
Origins: In the mid-2000s, the Bush administration refined its broadly titled "War on Terror" campaign to the "Fight Against Islamofascism." This transfered the stigma of the 9/11 attacks and that carried by our enemies in the Middle East from tactics (e.g., terrorism) to policies (e.g., a Muslim caliphate). Since politically-active Evangelicals seek to at least partially theocratize America, the term "Christofascism" appeared to take advantage of the Republican rhetorical realignment.
One uses the term perjoratively when calling someone else a Christofascist. It inherently accuses its object of disloyalty to democracy; it attempts to evoke the feelings of hostility towards Middle Eastern terrorists and transfer them to Evangelicals.

(3,544 posts)So at election time this has to be stressed. If you want to live in that kind of America, an America that is filled with hate and violence, vote for republicans but if you want to live and raise your 👪 family in an America that abhors violence and destruction, an America that takes care of human life no matter who they are then you'll vote democrats. It's that simple.
And remind them that with republicans, inflation will be the least of their worries.
