General Discussion

But unless you have also lost faith in cold hard facts, the facts tell us some interesting things.

First, the election was very close. The gop won the presidency without a majority. The late deciders were extremely misinformed. They did not vote for hate. They voted for lies.

This is an information war that we can still win although it is definitely going to take longer and cause more of us pain than a democratic victory would have.

We need to declare the truth often and with the facts before us.

Since at least the 1920’s

The economy (& jobs) grow under democratic presidencies just as former president Bill Clinton said. This is a verifiable fact.

Our country’s debt grows under republican presidencies. This too is a verifiable fact.

We need to preach these truths until they sink into the brainpans of our fellow citizens who live right now solely inside the gop false frame

where tax cuts for the rich trickle down (they never do)

helping another hurts you (helping rarely hurts)

and everything is a “business” that needs deregulating (an absolute crock pushed by the Seagull mine! mine! mine! Caucus who never ever will have enough because of the black holes they nurse instead of their souls).
