      For the last 20 years Fox News and conservative media have been demonizing Democrats as anti-American and disloyal and trying to actively intentionally destroy America. They also are given this propaganda that they’re the real Americans and the only thing left to save the world, so that mindset gives them permission to end democracy to save their way of life.

        Delusional. And then I know some of them have just always been republican so they keep voting that way regardless. Like, damn, wake up to the bullshit around you. This isn’t a matter of differing ideologies anymore - this is a matter of fighting for keeping the right to vote about those differing ideologies.

        Hello viewers, before we sign off I’d like to remind you that you are the superior human even though you are oppressed and can’t get anything you deserve, and that those other people are idiotic soft weaklings just preparing to take over and destroy us all!

      It’s the tea party. They infiltrated the Republican party hard core.

        How can the Republican Party infiltrate itself. They’re already members of them self. Therefore they cannot infiltrate themselves because they’re already part of themselves.

        The tea party was complete AstroTurf from the start. Run by well-known Republicans for republicans.
