Why argue the details? What are you trying to prove? Something we already know. The Trump administration is lying about this as about virtually everything else.

News media have not come close to explaining how quickly and completely Republicans have rejected their own values.

Republicans are so used to saying anything to confound "liberals" at the moment that they do not even realize they now believe the opposite of what they believed fervently yesterday.

I remember watching her speech to the Democratic National Convention in 1972. Electrifying. I thought, "They should choose her to be the party's presidential candidate."

Yes, the villain in all this is Bondi. She is the sole reason for this mess. For some perverse reason known only to herself she decided to stonewall the investigation. But if she were fired, the whole Epstein case should disappear as if nothing happened.

Statistics won't persuade Republican voters. Making them look in the mirror will.

I'm tired of all this winning.

We know how to make America strong and prosperous: it's the New Deal/Democratic approach to government. We've tried the Republican approach in increasing doses for 50 years. It's obvious it doesn't woek.

American Optimism Slumps to Record Low The percentage of U.S. adults who anticipate high-quality lives in five years declined to 59.2% in 2025, the lowest level since measurement began in 2008.

American Optimism Slumps to Record Low

The share of Americans who anticipate having high-quality lives in five years is at the lowest level since measurement began nearly two decades ago.

Right as if news is: "I was at a party, and a guy says to me..."

Attack Republican voters for betraying their own values.

Love to see libertarian, small-government Republicans effortlessly shift to defending government abusing citizens. If I didn't know better, I'd think Republicans were just BSing us about freedom.

"Speaker Johnson, if you're so poorly informed about a major issue, can you do your job properly?"

Tie this back to Q-Anon and the Republican propaganda about a Democratic pedophile ring. Time after time Republican voters swallow conspiracy theories about the left that turn out to be true of the right. When will they stop being fools?

Make Extreme Demands Years ago, when Donald Trump was just a celebrity businessman, he was desperate to get on the annual Forbes list of the richest Americans.

Why not just shoot them and be done with it? Or is that already baked into the re-education camps? Will self-denunciation become part of the ritual?

A distant observer might wonder why Republicans support Maoist policies, but it won't surprise anyone who's watched the Republican Party since 1994.

Yes, stop trying to understand and persuade them. Start reprogramming them.

Yes! Focus on Republican voters. They are responsible for the chaos.

When will the whole Republican bubble burst? Trump is so far out of touch with reality because he's riding on the three-stage booster rocket that is the Republican Party.

We break delusions by inducing self-reflection, not by reasoning and pleading with someone. Can we convert enough Republicans to save the country by inducing self-reflection on a large scale? Yes. Here’s a three-tier approach.

But they're not racist! Oh, no, not them.

Democrats: "How could you possibly vote for a pathological liar like Donald Trump?"

Republican voter: "Don't look at me like I'm stupid. Of course, I know he's a pathological liar. But he said he'll support people like me."

SCOTUS on affirmative action: "The best way to end racism is not to take race into account."

SCOTUS on ICE: "Duh, of course they can use race to detain people."

Yes, communicating less is always a good way to eliminate surprises.

Exactly. That is what Republicans hate: seeing people not like them living all their values better than they do.

“Tell your children who the cowards were.”

Republican primary voters in 2028: "I'm looking for a candidate who will implement all our old ideas, but this time not turn everything into a gigantic mess and crash the economy again."

Right. It only counts as racism if they admit it. Otherwise it's just a random post like anyone could come up with.

Republicans: "There wouldn't be any chaos if you just let us destroy the United States in an orderly way."

Stop pointing to Republican hypocrisy from the sidelines and really go after them...

I didn't hear you warn us of the Republican Party's terrible track record on the economy.
