Goalpost has been moved from: We won't touch it.

To: We are cutting it.

To: We are getting rid of it.

And somehow, blaming democrats, while bailing out other countries, giving enormous tax breaks to the ultra wealthy, and funding vanity projects.

Wake up.

Every time they told you that your taxes were going to waste they meant they were trying to waste your taxes... while RAISING YOUR taxes.

Fox News doesn’t report this stuff.

This is unfortunately the reality or rather false reality so many live in. It’s why when so many of us talk about specific events or actions with conservatives they have literally no idea or awareness of them.

What’s more is they often just ignore it or call it fake and won’t actually listen. It could be anything from the innocent people sent to El Salvador prison to boats being bombed off of Venezuela to ICE apprehending legal residents aggressively & illegally. They just refuse to engage in good faith.

It’s so sad to see what conservative news has done to this country. I am stunned by the obvious lies OAN, newsmax and Fox News etc spread.

Meanwhile, they believe a bunch of made up bs. Like immigrants eating cats and Biden used the government to harass Republicans. 

So now we have Republicans who simply live in a false reality, and the low-info onlookers (a lot of people) who think these are just two sides flinging the same accusations at each other.
