When will republicans realize they are being lied to every day?

[Nightjock]

Up to and on election night 2012 they were assured the polls were wrong and Romney would win handily

The IRS targeted liberal and right wing groups NOT just the tea party

the ACA (although, once upon a time, a republican idea) was going to kill jobs and people

Why after so many investigations do they not even have a doubt about this Benghanzi shit?!

Do they each individually almost have to die to see the truth?

It's so frustrating to see republicans on tv lying-AND THEY KNOW THEY ARE LYING- but still spewing this crap every day.
What in the world has happened to this country?!

1. throughout history, people wake up eventually. I don't know what it will take.

2. They lie because they want to annoy liberals. It's just trolling.

It's a form of bullying/trolling.

A troll doesn't want to persuade with logic, or debate with facts, they just want to annoy you.

(And I say this with particular reference to Palin, Bachmann et al).

Fox News fans are also indoctrinated with the "perception is reality" canard, so even if something isn't true they think it can be treated as true if they repeat it enough and everyone starts to believe it. So they repeat stuff they want to believe.

3. The R's I know will never admit it.

That would be a loss of "face" and besides, they are never wrong. I do wonder if any of them have a different opinion when they are in the privacy of a voting booth.

4. They know. They don't care.

5. Their lies are a form of self-medication.

[Fred Sanders]

6. I know. Religion lies to them, I kind of understand, but their party politicians lying to them, how

do they get away with that, in the face of clear facts? Do they really think rejecting facts is good for them or their country?

7. Like Democrats who also hold their views

with the strength of religious dogma. NEVER.

This is a reality about politics in the US. It has become a game of my team, and a quasi religion. So as the country continues to become more and more radicalized (among the hyper partisans on both sides) views on the evilness of the other side, and when will the other side realize they are lying to them? will continue to also harden.

And while the truth, (as I understand it) has a liberal bias, it does not mean that they are wrong all the time, or that they are evil, or children, or any of the other many views of the other side that are part of this religion.

But the short answer, hyper partisans are never wrong. That is one of the things that makes them hyper partisans. And I hate to say it, but it is the truth, this is on both sides.

8. Maybe some time in the future

However those who continue to listen to the likes of Beck, Rush, fox news, and all the other right wing BS artists, it may never happen. Like any addiction, you first have to admit you are addicted, and for that to happen they would have to turn off the idiots they listen to and then, and only then do they have a chance. Like any addiction you have to stop using what you are addicted to, the longer they go cold turkey the better. Sadly way to many who listen day in and day out to this BS will never stop until they die.

9. When there's no long a black President

Regaining their White House (wink, wink) is the most important thing right now.

10. we ALL are being lied to every day.

It's just a matter of degree. Them more. Us, too.

[nadinbrzezinski]

11. I am not sure it is a matter of degree

It is just different. See the post above yours for some of my thoughts on how this has become a religion, with dogma and articles of faith... oh and yes, facts be damned
