Speaking of Roy Moore, the smears against him were a trial run.
The treasoncrats saw that it’s a winning strategy, and they’re tweaking it to make it more effective.
They will use this smear against everyone who’s in their way starting about two weeks before any vote.
I would encourage everyone to watch Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, Fast Times At Ridgemont High, and Animal House. It was a different culture back then, not one of coercion, but one of accepting other peoples bad behavior with humor. No one had to participate.
