The lie-deological divide
It troubles me that so many people react to every new story, no matter what the story is, based on their ideology. We have lost the main message under all the damned messaging.
We all need to realize that none of this Trump stuff has even the tiniest thing to do with either real or perceived Democratic- or Republican- Party principles. Trump is only a Republican because they threw him a party. Literally. He’s a lifelong Democrat. We shouldn’t hammer on him for being a conservative. We should hammer on him for being a liar.
The lying has to stop, or be stopped. If we can get everybody to just shut up about their ideology and stand up for telling the damned truth, maybe we can get somewhere. Saying anything other than “Stop lying to us!” muddies the issue.
Sarah Sanders lies to us every day, and she knows she’s is lying to us every day. Hold her accountable to the truth. Not to your ideology. This is too important; it has to be bipartisan.
She was kicked out for lying to our faces every day. Don’t let it be about anything else.
