evidence of their intellectual dishonesty. When your whole existence is based on lies and maintaining the lies, you find your energies going into a void that has no valued return. The Republican Party has, in cahoots with faux news and attendant blowhards, spent so much effort in deceiving their right wing constituency in pursuit of cash and power that they now find themselves in a hall of mirrors which they cannot escape.
