We Need To Speak Honestly About The GOP's Evolution Into A Conspiracy Cult

[miketx]

One of the challenges in analyzing modern American politics is accurately describing the Republican Party without seeming unserious and hyperbolic. Unfortunately, the modern Republican Party’s abdication of seriousness, good faith and reality-based communications or policy-making has stretched even the most open-minded analyst’s capacity for forced balance. But there comes a tipping point at which it becomes too dangerous to keep up the pretense. Most people left of center would argue (rightly, I believe) that we hit that point long, long ago and the time to re-evaluate journalistic norms and practices should have been decades earlier when the GOP was busy covering up the Iran Contra scandal and promoting the Laffer Curve as serious public policy.

You and the rest of you criminal vermin aren't capable of speaking honestly about anything.

It's always amusing when extreme partisanship self-identifies as non biased.

The snake oil salesmen always start out by saying "trust me...…"

 

[Uncensored2008]

It's funny how Democrats have taken to accusing Republicans of exactly what they always do. This is what happens when you don't have a platform or any good solutions for our problems. You just become a lying, combative nincompoop.

It's a maxim from Vladimir Lenin, one of the founding fathers of the democrat party; "Hold the enemy accountable for your own sins." Rephrased by Saul Alinsky as "accuse others of doing what you are doing."

Your lib mouthpiece appears to be pissed that trump voters do not see him and his fellow libs in the news media as credible sources of information

and in that is correct

I dont respect journalists anymore or believe what they tell us

And that’s why the GOP has become a conspiracy cult. They don’t trust outside information.

[LAUGHatLEFTISTS]

ROFLOL! The Democratic Party dragged the country through the mud for 2 years while trying to peddle their bogus Trump-Russian-collusion conspiracy theory. You can't get a much bigger, wilder conspiracy theory than to claim that the GOP nominee conspired with the Russians and that that nominee has been doing the Russians' bidding after getting elected!

True. The Algore pregnant and dimpled Chad insanity is a close second.

That's some liberal projection right there. After getting bitch slapped in the 2016 election its been one liberal conspiracy after another. This is where we remind you people that you vowed to impeach Trump before the guy was even sworn into office now THAT'S a conspiracy cult. Trump is a Russian puppet ring a bell.

It was certainly an issue during the later Reagan years. But it didn't really ramp up until Newt and his Republican Revolution rolled into town. For the Republican Party, it's been a slow, steady descent ever since. The moderates and real conservatives have been driven out of the party. They've given a home to every right wing kook in the country and tried to make enemies out of the media and anyone who questions their motives. The whole conspiracy theory immersion has been happening since Obama was elected. Throw any lie against the wall and see if it sticks. I'm hoping we can get back to something approaching a normal news cycle next January.

There are no moderate democrats, the looney left wing took over the party years ago.

Ha! Not really. I’m glad it was investigated. The investigation showed a lot of shady behavior. Ultimately proved beyond a reasonable doubt that Russia was helping Trump get elected but y’all still can’t bring yourselves to admit it.
