The Republican Party is the Party of Evil

Rat in a coke bottle. Which I believed the first time I heard it, because, sure, why not? It did happen to the teller’s cousin ('s friend’s barber’s mother) after all.

I got better.

I’m old enough to have had the chocolate chip cookie recipe story circulated by actual paper mail (I think it was Famous Amos in the version I had).

And yes, the right weaponize these stories because they have gaslit their target audience into believing that such things are the way the world works (the cat litter in schools thing - not so much about the cookies). Truth is out; truthiness reigns.

I’m all ears.

I can think of a couple of reasons why someone might argue her answers were evasive:

  • they have the IQ of a snail and the reading comprehension of a small rock that the snail has taken a shit on.
  • They are rather desperately flailing about trying to give some sort of cover to the asshole Senator in question.

It’s just for puke, isn’t it?

or in a lockdown situation for hours on end.

Next some smart person will put two lies together and claim that Haitians are grooming children to believe that they’re cats so they can be eaten (the kids, not the Haitians).

It’s used to give the kids a place to relieve themselves during a lockdown.

Ah. Thanks for the splaino.

Convince him to go into the girls bathroom, and start taking pictures.

“Only way to be sure”

It’s not new, but the damage that this lack of information will do to generations of young people really pisses me off. Any information is power, and sone people need all of the power they can get to avoid a bad end.

So, fucknuckle, in tired GOP fashion, then “retracts” after the post was taken down…

Misinterpreted, um, how?

“…have to accept responsibility for their actions.” What - for…voting the way you didn’t want them to vote? And this “responsibility”, then, is essentially preparing for violent consequences?

Funky source - thanks, NS!

The standard “Look what you made me do” defense.

I wish I could say that this behavior was surprising or unusual. Threats and violence as part of politics are part of their toolbox, and it’s very disturbing.

The strongest issue the Democrats have is to raise taxes for rich people and corporations. I wish they would emphasize that more.

Disagree. Abortion is equally strong.

A bit of Republican Evil in my own backyard.

From the article:

Pennsylvania farmers Bob Lange and wife Kristina Chadwick Lange are lifelong Republicans. They’ve never voted for a Democrat for president. […] Bob and Kristina are both voting for Kamala Harris for president. And that’s the exact message they delivered in a Kamala Harris campaign ad, after which things turned ugly.

It’s a shame that’s the world we live in now, a difference of opinion automatically means hate email and death threats.

It truly is, but this never should have happened (from the linked article): “But it turns out that the Kamala Harris campaign sent out a press release last week that didn’t just use their full names and the name of their businesses — it even linked to their website.”

It actually shocks me that in this day and age that someone would actually do that (inadvertently dox supporters in a press release).

Really? Campaigns now have to hide information about their supporters who very publicly campaign for them?

You could be right, but if so, how very sad – and I wouldn’t blame the Harris campaign for making such a “mistake.”
