FREE SPEECH MAN!

To be slightly generous to the media, the lying fascist Republican liars who lie about everything have been claiming that they have a plan to replace the ACA all ready to go, or at least ready to vote on, or at least ready to start thinking about, or, uh, something.

I saw somewhere else that our pathetic wannabe dictator is planning to start pre-emptively pardoning people, so we may not even get to lock this asshole up when our pathetic wannabe dictator dies.

I haven't watched football since I learned about this, and no one else should either.

It's the modern version of the Southern Strategy, right? Or the logical progression of it, or something.
When the Democrats abandoned racism and xenophobia, Republicans didn't say "thank goodness our country is becoming less racist and xenophobic", they said "ooh, voters! YUM" and drank the poison.

I feel like there's a name for the thing the original poster described, and it's called "acting", and there are people who get paid a lot of money to do it convincingly, and people who spend lots of years doing it for fun and no pay to do it convincingly.
