The Democrat leaders and their fake news puppets are shameless liars - pure evil. But Democrat voters are, by and large, not evil - just gullible. Their crime is believing the lies they are told.
But I can actually sympathize with them - it’s hard to resist believing something when nearly every politician, every celebrity, every news pundit and every paid-off science professor is saying the same thing.
It’s hard to believe that so many powerful and influential people would be conspiring to lie. But they are.
I’ve known it for a long time, but I still have a hard time swallowing it.
The fact is, many of the people with that kind of power and influence did some bad things along the way to get that power - cut some corners - accepted some favors - looked the other way - and now they have to lie to cover up their wrongdoings. It doesn’t happen over night. They gradually weave a tangled web of half truths and omissions.
Then, when push comes to shove, and good people are trying to defend themselves or expose the truth - these powerful people find themselves more on the side of covering things up. It’s no longer in their best interest for the truth to come out.
Somehow, we have to wake up these naive voters to what’s going on - many are good people who just don’t want to believe that many people could be lying to them. They think it’s more likely we are wrong - conspiracy kooks.
I know a lot of Democrats like that. Last Tuesday, one asked me excitedly if I had watched the hearings. I said “Nah, I don’t watch fake news”. She called me a “typical hide-your-head-in-the-sand Republican”.
So, because I won’t listen to lies, I’m the one hiding my head in the sand. I’m the one in denial. I’m the one in an echo chamber. And she really believes I’m the one that’s in the dark - not her. That’s what we are up against.
“Their crime is believing the lies they are told.”

No no, they are more than gullible. They don’t just idly believe the lies. They WANT the lies. I have seen this first hand with members of my family. They reject everything that doesn’t fit their political cosmology, and the seek out anything that does, without question, and with prejudice.
