@s2208 @WandererUber The lies "worked," because he had the MSM behind him. Imagine the scale of the Holohoax. But, if WE lie, then we will be called out, and made to look like bad-guys.
Might be thinking ...
But they'll lie about us anyway.
Yeah, but it's a powerful thing when we show folks THEY are lying.
As an aside, Romney was a typical "If you are poor, it's YOUR FAULT" Republican. "Just keep Working Harder, GOY!!" Remember him complaining about those who didn't earn enough to qualify to pay income taxes**? He didn't say:
Doesn't it SUCK how elites like me (merger/acquisition guy) have destroyed our middle-class with immigration-replacement workers and outsourcing (which he supported), to the point 1/2 of Americans don't even earn enough to pay the income tax?!?!?
Act like that, and you deserve to lose - just as Trump deserves to be hated, for his similar policy-moves, now. Can't wait for them to whine about the Chavista-style govt the blowback, which this will inevitably produce. But, of course, they will just move somewhere else, into a new mansion w/servants, and fund death-squads at-a-distance.
