No truth they cannot muddle, no lie they cannot cleanse.

That is the faith of Republicans in their propaganda system.

They trust FOX News, Newsmax, and their different spokespeople to muddy every situation that might reflect poorly on them.

They can shine a turd and put Trump's name on it and call it beautiful.

No one dare to criticize lest they be attacked by the propagandists, that are very good at ad hominem attacks, on anyone that would question their actions or motives.

Republicans don't worry about elections. They are not sweating the Paxton election in Texas. They know they can constantly attack his opponent and his name will be mud by election day. They are confident of that.

Because they believe in the power of lies if they are told with sincerity. They repeat them repetitiously. They prey upon the lack of intelligence of the American voter.

The truth remains under assault.
