You dont have to pretend to be a family man, you dont have to pretend to be or be anything OTHER than not a liberal, not a democrat.

You can then rape, murder, steal, anything.

We need to understand this...we dont yet. Although I will say McConnell surprised me on this one. But the voters, the deplorables, they love Moore.

That would be completely dismissed as Democrat lies and the "Hannity" picture adopted with fierce loyalty, no need to justify anything.

Even if they might be completely unaware of it themselves. For all the craziness, surely some unconsciously depended on us to protect what they didn't want to lose.

May sound crazy on my part, but psychologists say right-wing authoritarian types are notably devoid of insight into their own behaviors.

They are vulnerable to good leadership as well, but the kelptocratic types aren't paying for good leadership.

The GOP could run Ted Bundy, Charles Manson, and the Son Of Sam, and they'd all justify these people despite that the rest of the world knows them as serial killers.

Their only complaint would be the pot smoking and other drug use. But they would probably also claim that to be fake news.

Nov 2017

Mrs Bachmann, 55, said she would work in the 'spirit of John Wayne from Waterloo' - who is not the actor, but the serial killer John Wayne Gacy.

Well what I want them to know is just like, John Wayne was from Waterloo, Iowa. That's the kind of spirit that I have too,’ she told Fox News.

Gacy was born in Chicago, Illinois, before moving to Waterloo, where he lived for a short time and also had his first criminal conviction.
