They loved Marjorie Taylor Greene, now they hate her.

They loved Thomas Massie, now they hate him.

They loved Lauren Boebert, now they hate her.

They made fun of Biden for nodding off ("Sleepy Joe), now they ignore Trump outright falling asleep.

They put "I Did That" Biden stickers on high gas prices, now they ignore gas prices being even higher.

They bragged about Trump being the no wars President, now they support war.

They bashed Biden for sending money to Ukraine, now they ignore Trump sending money to both Ukraine and Israel.

They demanded the Epstein files, now they bash anyone asking for the Epstein files.

To be a MAGA is to be a slave.

Not physically, but mentally.

They stand for nothing.

We're up against people who stand for nothing.

And with the most misplaced confidence you've ever seen, they try to tell us whats-what.

We shouldn't even acknowledge these people.

The Trump supporters that remain are mentally too far gone.

I don't even want to argue with them anymore.

Calling rational people terfs is a silencing tactic in the same way calling someone a coon is for disagreeing with the lyrical content of modern rap music. It is hyperbole! Stop being extra and see all sides of the equation. I consider myself left of center, but I cannot stand these crazy wingnuts (right and left) who have this dangerous obsession with absolutes and exaggerations. It's so freaking annoying. Most sane people dwell in the middle. Teetering too far to one end creates imbalance. Can we stop with the name-calling and actually have conversations?

Partisan Hypocrisy and Electing Scandalous, Poisonous Candidates in Post-Truth Politics

“If you’re the kind of person whose policy commitments have led you to repeatedly send Richard Shelby and Jeff Sessions to the Senate — and to elect Moore to the chief judgeship on the state Supreme Court multiple times — then voting to put Democrat Doug Jones in office must conflict deeply with your ideological values.

But American society is deeply hostile to the idea that it often makes perfect sense to elect the worse person if he agrees with you on the issues. Partisanship is a dirty word in American politics, even as growing partisan polarization means it makes more sense for citizens to vote as partisans. Consequently, Alabama Republicans face massive psychological pressure to come up with some reason other than frank partisanship to explain why they’re willing to vote for a man accused by many women of sexually abusing them as teens. The result is most of them have decided to reject the women’s stories as lies.”

Progressives are on the correct side of history. Evidence? Moore’s misconduct is jeopardizing what should be a safe Republican Senate seat. Trump is, for a variety of reasons, one of the least-popular presidents on record.

Democrats will elect scandal-free candidates in Minnesota and Michigan in 2020. Republicans will suffer as they cling to their partisan hypocrisy.

Caught on Camera: Why Politicians Can’t Stop Contradicting Themselves

In today’s world of instant replay, archived interviews, and viral video clips, you’d think politicians would be more careful about contradicting themselves. After all, their every word can be fact-checked, clipped, and shared online within minutes. Yet, time and time again, we see elected officials saying one thing on Monday and the opposite on Friday — often with footage proving the change. So…
