Prepare to listen to non-stop lying tonight as Republican rivals attempt to upstage each other while the big fat liar tries it online.
Be selective of who you decide to allow on your ship because they will sink the vessel if they are not capable of being the skipper. Ignorance has a troubling GOP voter tradition, especially in the red states. There are liars everywhere ready for hand-to-hand knock-down-drag-out fighting, where gouging, biting, and maiming are considered fair play.
Today’s registered voters will be sitting around their monitors, while the RED candidates face off with one another head-on for the first time making the mistake of thinking that #MAGARepublicabs are good, and don't realize they're about to be slugged from behind.
Folks, I may seem like a Democrat, but I'm an NPA - No Political Affiliation. As some dumb ones say, this ain't my first rodeo. In fact, I was recruited and served as a foreign policy media maestro for the Grand Old Party for a couple of years.
Here is how they manipulate ignorance: First, they put the fear of God into you—if you don’t believe in the literal word of the Bible, you will burn in hell. They make sure you know the devil resides in complex thought so it is best not to try it, cause you won't like it.
Next, they tell you that as bad as you are, if you stick with them, you are among the chosen ones. This is flattering and reassuring and also encourages you to imagine the terrible fates of those you envy and resent. American politicians ALWAYS operate by a similar sort of flattery, and so Americans are never induced to question themselves. The history of the Trump years shows that red-state types, above all, do not want to be told what to do—they prefer to be ignorant. As a result, they are unteachable, but they're slowly learning not The Untouchables. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0WBDLoohbUs&list=PLqEgkoR-b_aTVvhZ2BfNw…
Finally, when life grows difficult, the politicians, preachers, and pundits encourage you to cling to your ignorance. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V0Od7TcejvA
You don’t need much encouragement because you’ve put all your eggs into the ignorant basket, and some kind of miraculous fruition (preferably accompanied by the torment of your enemies is your only hope. If you are sufficiently ignorant, you won’t even know how dangerous your policies are until they have destroyed you, and then you can always blame someone else. Just as the most ignoramus of the MAGA crowd always does. Why won't he be there... He's afraid, folks!
Like him, a generation ago, those without morals decided to make use of the religious right in their class war against the middle class and against the regulations that were protecting workers and consumers. The architects of this strategy knew perfectly well that they were exploiting, among other unsavory qualities, a long American habit of virulent racism, but they did it anyway, and we see the outcome.
They know no boundaries or rules. They are predatory and resentful, amoral, avaricious, and arrogant. Lots of Americans like and admire them because lots of Americans, even those who don’t share those same qualities, don’t know which end is up. Therefore, buyers beware of what you hear tonight because it won't be just any night. Tomorrow there will be a mourning star.

Did you know that: In 1799, a friend of George Washington urged him to come out of retirement to run for a third term? Washington made his thoughts quite clear, especially when it came to new phenomena of political parties. “The line between Parties,” Washington said, had become “so clearly drawn” that politicians “regard neither truth nor decency; attacking every character, without respect to persons – Public or Private, – who happen to differ from themselves in Politics.”
