The gaslighting is the point

Factual

Trump had the Chancellor of Germany in the Oval Office for trade negotiations & he said the Oval Office was where World Wars I & II started & ended Of course it’s impossible to negotiate without trust It’s impossible to trust someone so mendacious And it’s impossible to teach someone so ignorant

The richest man on earth lost an election by ten points in Wisconsin but he still thinks he can get 80% of the US public to agree with him This implies the richest man on earth is actually below average intelligence But most of us would be the same way if we’d been billionaires all our lives

How many years has this been public knowledge?

Surely no Trump supporter will be surprised by this

It will be hard for me not to rave about how good Sinners is, but once you’ve been baptized by its fire, you too will be able to enjoy the precious first time reaction videos that are now appearing on YouTube

Every church in America without a rainbow flag is complicit in these hate crimes They have gone on for as long as Christianity That’s what happens when your belief system is that whoever agrees with it can be forgiven any crime while whoever disagrees with it is unforgivable

It wasn’t stupid as much as it was evil Senator Ernst spoke her sincere religious beliefs, which are stupid and evil She was elected by people who share them They believe wealth inequality is eternal Whether it was stupid of her to be honest remains to be seen

‘Open borders’ is not a description of border policy, it is a racist dog whistle It means brown people That’s all it means That’s all it ever did mean And as long as racists can win elections that’s all it ever will mean
