Republicans; how do you make peace with the volume of lies?

That’s their MO sadly.

Gore’s lawsuits had merit; there were well documented issues with some of the ballots; the margin of votes between Gore and Bush was extraordinarily close; Gore accepted the Court’s decision and encouraged others to do so; and he graciously attended Bush’s inauguration.

None of that is comparable to the way Trump handled his loss.

The two parties do lie equally, in terms of quantity of lies or illegality of lies or dangers posed by their lies.

But you already knew all of that. You’re just a liar.

In my years as a journalist I worked for ABC/ CBS/ CNN/ AP and Reuters. I’ve fact checked both sides but nothing I ever saw in the years before trump compared to his ability to flat out lie and that has only gotten worse in recent months. To me this makes him completely unfit to govern and I’m confused why others don’t feel the sam. What makes this excusable in folks minds I am intrigued?

But the dems lies on Bidens condition for years doesn't confound you OP? Your post is comical.

I see you.

GMAFB. That's a disingenuous take. We already know that MAGA doesn't think. They blindly follow orders while in a trance.

Then we should blindly follow the orders while in a trance of what you believe. Because you have it nailed down and are holier than thou. Whatever

The thing is, both parties have covered for their geriatric candidates’ deterioration. The Democrats finally acknowledged Biden’s decline and forced him out. The Republicans are still lying about Trump’s.

What I find fascinating is that Trump haters think we are somehow brainwashed and under a spell. Lol. He’s a jackass most of the time. Everyone knows this. But I will take him over the modern left in a heartbeat.

You are an idiot if you think the modern left is a real threat right now and Trump is not. Idiot isn't a strong enough word for what you are.

Good Lord.

Trump lies mainly to stir up fear, hate, and division. That is the danger. Sadly, people tend to be led by fear, not hope. Hitler led this way and Trump is following his playbook. It's dangerous and incomparable to lies of past/present politicians. It's clear that Trump voters don't care about his lies, his criminal record, or anything else. He was right when he said he "could walk down 5th Avenue and shoot someone and still win." His supporters have bought into the cult and nothing will change their minds.
