>Fact Focus: Democrats did not shut down the government ~~to give health care to ‘illegal immigrants’~~ full stop
Trump and the Republicans did!

Of course not. But I’ve heard this lie stated by multiple senior GOP officials. And of course repeated ad nauseum by the Maga’s who take anything said by them as gospel.

Republicans are completely incapable of governing.

They didn’t , but I wouldn’t care if they did. Having principles and standing up for those that need help would be nice for a change.

Republicans believe that by repeating a statement can make it appear true. Republicans do not prioritize truth period.

Republican politicians have really ramped up the lying. They constantly attack immigrants and transgender people like they are the reason the healthcare system is broken. Anybody with the ability to think, knows better, and that includes republican voters.

Also: Democrats did not shut down the government at all. The Republicans did.

Everyone knows that’s absolute bull shit. The stream of lies coming from the White House and Johnson is enough to make anyone vomit.

Republicans will hang themselves with the lies they tell.

It amazes me how all republicans and fox news can lie like this with zero repercussions.

Republicans shut down the government to take healthcare away from Americans.

But it says they did on [every single government website](https://osc.gov/Services/Pages/HatchAct.aspx) and out-of-office message for all of the furloughed employees, so it must be true?

It is probable that Obamacare is a warmed over version of the plan Bob Dole put against Hillary.
We must fight, but someday it would be nice to fight for more than leftovers.

So depressing this has to be repeated. The propaganda machine works. It is easy to swallow. Reptilian brain says yes! Reading and thinking takes time. It is work and humility, to question assumptions, and difficult to change your mind; assimilate new information.
My grandparents value hard work, but not when it comes to thinking abstractly. They have been pretty happy, successful people. Learning about science, philosophy, history isn’t prioritized in their value system, and they are perfectly happy to let Fox News take the reins of what they believe, politically and morally.

Portland is also not a “war-ravaged city”, but the uneducated MAGA morons are so dumb

Trump: “*We need $120billion to get rid of illegal immigrants RIGHT NOW!*”
Maga: “*Ok here’s the money, but release the Epstein files please.*”
Trump: “*Democrats are shutting down the government, because illegal immigrants {x,y,z}!!!*”
Maga: “*Wait, what? And where are the Epstein files?*”
Trump: “*Sleepy Joe, and the libs! Obama! The WOKE radical leftists! OMG they’re taking over your country!!!*”
Maga: “*Hmmm..*”

Facts don’t matter to MAGA any more than the laws do.

These dumbasses call the like of Biden, Chuck Schumer, and Nancy Pelosi Marxists. They fullheartedly believe Haitians eat people’s pets and schoolchildren are pissing and shitting in litter boxes. They believe Boston, New York, Chicago, etc are all active war zones. They believe horse dewormer is the best defense against COVID. The GOP benefits immensely from corralling all the stupid people into one big coalition. It’s how Herschel Walker got nominated and how a guy who couldn’t name the three branches of government gets to represent Alabama in the Capitol. It’s how they can claim trans people are a threat and how they can get away with lying about Project 2025 and then immediately bringing the entire crew into the administration.

If you repeat a lie often enough it becomes the truth.

Lying is a requirement to be a Republican.
