F*** You, Ted Cruz
You un-American, anti-democracy, lying sack of sh*t
Liar or believer? I’ve asked that a lot these past four years, as Republican politicians and media figures spout falsehood after Trump-supporting falsehood. Do they really believe it? Or are they cynically going along with claims they know have no basis in reality — or are even the opposite of reality — because they don’t value truth, don’t respect their supporters, and see personal advantage in the lies?
Do they really believe Vladimir Putin is right and the U.S. intelligence community is wrong about Russia’s interference in the 2016 election?
Do they really believe “there is no longer a nuclear threat from North Korea”? That COVID is no more dangerous than the flu? Or that Trump recalled the corruption-fighting ambassador to Ukraine, froze legally-allocated aid to Ukraine, and asked Ukraine’s president to do him the “favor” of announcing an investigation into Joe Biden because Trump was trying to oppose corruption, rather than trying to manufacture an advantage against the candidate he expected to face in 2020?
And now, most importantly, do they really believe these fantastical, widely-debunked conspiracy theories that claim the recent presidential election was illegitimate?
