Please give us some examples of this, as I’m very interested in where these delusions actually come from. Are they made up in your own mind or are they actually reality?
You tried to edit any significant Wikipedia pages recently? Go ahead, I’ll wait. If your edit exists longer than 6 hours I will personally wire you $50 through your choice of carrier.
Edits are tracked on Wikipedia through a large and obnoxiously thorough community of fact checkers and editors. Posting random bullshit on there will get it deleted nearly instantly and if you do it again you’ll be ip-banned. They don’t fuck around with that anymore. Wikipedia is humongously crowdsourced and because of that, is actually probably one of the most trustworthy and accurate information sources we have available to us as a species. Every edit made to any page will be scrutinized by 480 community members within 2 hours and if any of them find you’re spewing bullshit without sources it’s gone.

You must be very young or very ignorant, if you don’t remember how the GOP used one fraudster as a boogeyman excuse to defund public services for people who truly needed them.
The other reply in this post has lots of examples; you can refer to that.
The point I’m trying to get at though is the hypocrisy.
If there is one conservative politician who acts illegally but the supporters of that party ignore it and instead criticise others more harshly for the same actions they are enormous hypocrites.

When this kind of shit has a Wikipedia entry, you don’t really have an excuse for not understanding a long-term vilification of the poor in general in the US, used as an excuse for excessive means testing, and gutting social programs in general. More recently, in Florida, where they began a program of drug testing recipients of welfare, they spent more money drug testing people than they saved by kicking people off the program for being caught doing drugs.
The US is, by the numbers, a majority Christian nation. Thus it follows, a large number of those people must be behind these attitudes.
That’s fact that you used a Wikipedia page as a source is hilarious, anyone can edit a Wikipedia page…

Exactly… you have none.
🤣
I give you a 1/10 overall for trolling, the 1 is for making me laugh a little at what a joke you are…
I didn’t know there was a name for it but yeah I’ve made it a point to not engage with those types for years now.
You’re getting absolutely dunked on in these comments and your only response is 🙉🙈
Facts don’t care about your feelings 😬
Matt Gaetz is still in office so there’s that
See top comment.

Google is free my dude. Just search for recent charges again politicians, and tally up which parties they belong to.
But let me guess: any source that doesn’t support your world view is “fake news”
