The fact that nobody ever calls them out for the blatantly obvious lies to their face is the most infuriating thing of all. They think we're brainless monkeys and they get away with it because nobody pushes back
Plenty of people call them out on it - they've just spent my lifetime insulating themselves from any impact coming from it.
I mean on the TV, during the interviews, directly after they tell the obvious lies.
Literally everyone who's not a republican is constantly jumping at the bit to "call out republicans", because its the main way they feed their ego. Republicans are bad, ive pointed it out loudly, so now I'm a good person.
Its cheap and easy, but hardly the truth. Republicans have real problems just like anyone else. Learn how to have a conversation with someone who's come to a different conclusion than yourself.
