    No worries, I totally understood your position. It’s just always shocking how Repubs feel so comfortable blatantly contradicting documented reality.

      It’s just always shocking how Repubs feel so comfortable blatantly contradicting documented reality.

      Because their voters don’t punish them for it.

      Al Franken was run out of the Senate because of the appearance of impropriety in a staged joke photo.

      Republicans lost over 60 court cases about the “rigged” 2020 election, and yet they’re still gonna nominate Trump again. He lied about Hillary, he lied about the wall, he still lies about the economy, but none of that matter because Republicans want it to be true. That’s what you get with the “feelings over facts” party.

      I think its because Repubs believe everyone else contradicts reality, so they’re just doing what everyone else does. They here something that is real, but supports a liberal position. They believe reality is contradicted so they feel no shame in making statements contradictory to reality because they believe its a level playing field. They’re wrong, most of the time, but that doesn’t stop them.
