This last exchange highlights the problem with Republicans: they don't understand nuance, and complex issues just stifle their brains. “Defund Police” Really? What percentage of Democrats go for that? But that won’t prevent the GOP from turning it into a slogan. Everything, to them, is just "Us or Them". There is no complicated scientific phenomena called climate change. It's just a Chinese Hoax. There's no constitutional assault when you attempt to extort a foreign leader to interfere in a presidential election. It's a Hoax. There's no possibilities that renewal sources are better than fossil fuels. Clean coal is getting cleaner and windmills cause cancer. No reason to have environmental regulations. All regulations are bad. There's no novel covid-19 pandemic. It will be over in a couple short weeks. It's no more dangerous than the flu, Rush Limbaugh declared. Deficits don't matter. Trickle down will save you. Have you noticed that all this is rather simplistic? Have you noticed that the way to MAGA is by tariffs and more tariffs and then more tariffs, and dismantling NATO and the state department. Nothing is complicated. Run up the debt just as much as you want to look like you are winning. The truth is Republicans can't face reality. They can't admit that Robert Mueller and James Comey were career Republican public servants who did outstanding jobs for over twenty years for presidents for both parties. They can't grasp that they all said Mattis, and Kelly, and Tillerman were outstanding cabinet members , and then they suddenly went "bad", overnight? When a progressive confronts reality and it bothers him, he seeks ways to try to change it for the better. When a Republican confronts reality and he doesn't like it, he fabricates an alternative narrative. He invents a fable factory, which is simply a polite way to say a tangle of lies. End of story.
