The facade of Republican voters...

They must think that either no one notices or that no one cares. After all, the media refuses to expose them for what they are.

But they cannot escape responsibility for their actions and their beliefs. When they come out by the thousands and the majority of their Party supports racist and demagogic comments by their candidates, they cannot continue to pretend that they are somehow legitimate voices for the American people.

When they are silent as their followers terrorize and murder innocent citizens, they cannot pretend that their vocal support for violence has nothing to do with the violence that follows.

What you see is what they are. Stupid is as stupid does. Even if the media feels compelled to defend them, for the sake of the two-party system, they cannot escape the reality. The truth is what it is, whether it is silent or not.
