That infamous Flagpolian rage is just oozing out with ever-increasing uncontrollability.

You mistake me calling you dumbf*cks what you are for rage. Wrong, and stupid of course. There is no other appropriate language for you morons who believe there are Jewish Space Lasers, a rigged election, that JFK Jr. is still alive, that there was a Democrat-led child sex ring in the basement of a pizza place, that Democrat leaders drink blood and worship the devil and on and on with your insane nonsense.

You pick the word or phrase that describes that. You thinking that the national debt is in BILLIONS (with a "b" as you said) of dollars and that deer run from headlights doesn't help you.

Here's the list to pick from (other synonyms could work too, but they would have to be approved by me):

Moron

Idiot

Fool

Dumb@ss

Dumbf*ck

Window licker

Sh!t for brains

Conscientious

Resourceful

Passioniate

People-person

Charismatic

Analytical

Authentic

Off-the-charts intelligence

What percentage of regular Fox viewers and election deniers will take in some of this information and change their opinions about Fox and about the election being stolen?

5%? Is their one poster here who understands now and who will acknowledge with a post that they were wrong? I think we all know the answer to the second question.

Our democracy has been severely wounded by Trump and Fox and their lies. The court cases exposing truth are saving our democracy.

I'm not sure that it is reasonable to say that Trump and Fox "severely wounded our democracy." What exactly is there to wound if half the population is perfectly willing to be lied to and chooses to bask in and celebrate the lying?

It seems a bit more reasonable to recognize that we, as a nation, didn't have much going for us in the first place and this truth has simply been exposed by Trump and Fox.

I think that one ought to be careful with this perspective. First off, it's unnecessary. Judge the Rs on what they say and do. Unfortunately, they give you plenty of ammunition. One need not look to what they're criticizing on the D side to know their badness.

Second, it can lead one to ignore anything defensible that they might put forth. There ARE, of course, non-Trumpian things in this country to defensibly criticize. If one gets in the habit of assuming that EVERYTHING that they say is just a projection, then one might find oneself on the wrong side of an argument/position.

For example, perhaps, if Rs say that it's (still) WAY too easy to be labeled an "-ist" of some sort at your average (liberal) institute of higher education, they're correct. It's not that that unfair labeling isn't happening at liberal schools, and only going on at the small fraction of conservative colleges. They've accurately described the situation, in this case. They haven't projected. Bad people can get things right, sometimes.

Judge most things as independently as possible.

Fair points all.

At the same time, it has been uncanny, ever since Trump took over the GOP (and perhaps earlier), how Trump and the GOP have raised to an art form the practice of accusing others of precisely the crimes they, themselves are committing.

So, though it is completely fair to criticize the Dems for many things, it has been a remarkably consistent pattern for the GOP to effectively advertise their crimes by accusing the Dems of what the GOP is actually doing.

And like with so many things Trumpian, it's SO freakin' annoying how transparent and lame it is. And yet the arrogant knuckle-draggers tell themselves that they're the savvy ones.

And it does seem to have increased in the last year or two. The top 2 in aggravation, I think:

1) The problem is that the other side is dishonest. Never mind that our leader for 7 years or so is THE biggest liar that any of us will EVER see. And we love him. And we want him back.

2) We're patriots, we're for liberty and the constitution. And we're the party that tried really hard to throw all of that away. And likely will do so again. But look, the flag on my hat and pick-em-up truck.

Disgusting.
