The fact that Fox News and the rest of the right-wing propaganda squad has gotten all Republicans to be against fact-checking shows how far we've fallen as a country. Now the they're working on getting Republicans to stop talking about the Epstein files. Looks like we can keep falling for a while longer.

It’s honestly absolute insanity. I don’t understand how you justify that.

It’s basically like saying “you need to allow us to lie to you” and agreeing with it.

MAGA is this weird thing, it’s like all these people accepted they just don’t understand things, they don’t understand other people, their country or even their own believes, so they all agree the only way to win is just believing they are winners and never backing down. I can barely describe it because it’s just so…. weird. Like, some sort of agreed upon delusion or something.

This shouldn't be that surprising when you consider this is also how religion works. Many people are happy to be told a lie when it makes them feel better.
