Including links that bring these uncomfortable, inconvenient, funky little things called FACTS into the mix. Posts like this PROVE that we are right. That OUR side is right. That OUR side reflects the will of the people more than the bad guys ever could.

Have you noticed over the past 20 years or so - the incessant, almost desperate drumbeat that "America is a center-right country!" Repeat, repeat, repeat. Well, it's NOT true, and those Gallup polls prove it. It's NOT true. It's NEVER BEEN true. If anything, America is a center-LEFT country. We lean LIBERAL. We lean that way on a woman's right to choose. We lean that way on gun safety regulations. We lean that way on marriage equality. We lean that way on racial equality. We lean that way on climate change. We lean that way on unions. We lean that way on keeping church and state separate. We lean that way on voting rights. And we lean that way on not trusting Russia or Vladimir Putin. Yet we keep hearing how republi-CONS are really starting to warm up to Putin these days, 'eh? So that must be the way things are now, 'eh? If republi-CONS think that, it means EVERYBODY thinks that, 'eh?



I'm keeping a copy of this post, Mortos. It's verbal ammo. It's urgently necessary as a rebuttal tool. It's WUNNNderful!
