So many on the right want to "both sides" every issue.
They'll say things like
"BOTH sides are dirty." or
"All politicians lie" or
"Democrats are just as bad as Republicans" or
my personal fave:
"BOTH OF US WERE LIED TO" 1/24
Let's focus on that last one, shall we?
"Both sides were lied to"
OK. So do this with me:
If someone says "Trump is dirty"
The right says "No, he's not."
The left says " Yes. He is."
Accurate? Yeah? Cool! 2/24
Let's assume ONLY FOR THE SAKE OF ARGUMENT that trump is, in fact, dirty.
If trump IS dirty, what would "his" side naturally say?
They would say, "NO, HE'S NOT! LOOK OVER HERE AT THIS THING!"
WHY? Because IF HE IS,
“They” NEED for people on the right to believe he's NOT. 3/24
Following that same logic, WHAT would they NEED the other side to believe???
Take your time... Just shout it out when you know it.
THAT HE IS DIRTY? YES!! Bonus points!! 4/24
Because IF HE IS, they know the LIBTARDS would LOSE THEIR MINDS trying to get you to SEE IT, get crazy and desperate because OMG WE ARE ALL GONNA DIE and the WINGNUTS would stop listening and shut down, comfy AF that THEIR guy is a good guy SENT BY GOD. 5/24
I'd like to pause right here for a sec and say,
"OH FFS. MAGAt's! Gimme a Break! I said LIBTARDS TOO." 6/24
So obviously, one side is being lied to, and the other is not. NO MATTER WHICH THING IS TRUE. 7/24
OK. Absorb. Breathe. Don't lose it. This is where many people go into fight or flight mode and stop trying to make sense of it. Make an effort to control that, and THINK. 8/24
If you've made it this far, and you're still with me, YAY YOU!!!

Let's try another way. Are you familiar with the Roman myth of Cassandra and Apollo?
It's a cool story. Here it go.
Once upon a time, there was a beautiful princess named Cassandra who lived in Rome. 9/24
(Cassie's dad was King of Rome)
There was also this god named Apollo.
One day Apollo visited a temple and Cassandra was there! OMG! She was gorgeous! It was love at first sight!
He said to her (paraphrasing)
"How YOU doin'?"
She blushed and looked at her feet.
Apollo said "You are the most beautiful woman in the world! If you give me a kiss, I will give you a great gift! I will bestow upon you the power of foresight." 10/24
So he said some magic words (probably) and suddenly, CASSANDRA COULD SEE THE FUTURE!! SWEET!!!

And what did she see? She saw that APOLLO WAS GOING TO DESTROY THE CITY OF TROY. OMG, WHAT A DICK!
He leaned in to kiss her, and she spat in his face! 11/24
He said "YOU BITCH! (probably) For that, I will also bestow upon you the inability to convince ANYONE of what you see!"
~The End~

OK Class. Does any part of the Roman myth resemble current events? Let me help you. THE DEMOCRATS ARE CASSANDRA. 12/24
OK. So you say "WELL what if the reverse is true? What if trump is a good guy, and the RIGHT is being told the truth--and the LEFT is being lied to??"
A fair question. Totally. 13/24
FIRST, please notice that in both scenarios, ONE SIDE IS BEING LIED TO, AND ONE SIDE IS BEING TOLD THE TRUTH. THIS IS IMPORTANT.
So which is it? 14/24
Well there, sadly, I can't help you. You will have to think about a few things and work it out for yourself. For example: 15/24
1.Why are so many Republicans going over to the other side? Saying they'll VOTE FOR BIDEN??? What the French fried f*ck is that?? That NEVER HAPPENS. Well, except that one guy Zel Miller who challenged Chris Matthews to a duel... but I digress...16/24
2.If trump is a good guy, sent by God, to SAVE THIS COUNTRY FROM EVILDOERS, why is he firing every inspector general? Why is he breaking laws every day and telling our country he can "DO WHATEVER HE WANTS"? Why is he trying to shut down every investigation? 17/24
Why did he install an AG who goes against everything this country was founded on? Why did he put his pals (criminals) in every position that could have stopped him? (Imma let you work that one out yourself.) 18/24
http://3.Here 's another: If MUSLIMS ARE SO SCARY they need to be forbidden to enter this country (unless they are from a country doing business with ANY trump), then WHY ARE TRUMP AND POMPEO SELLING ARMS TO SAUDI ARABIA??? These people ARE NOT BUDDHISTS, OK???? 19/24
4. So, obviously, I can keep going. But I think you take my point. (Please say you take my point.)
The fact is, its a simple choice: Good or Evil.
Not Democrat or Republican.
Not Black or White.
Not Male or Female.
Not Gay or Straight. 20/24
If we don't get this, really f*cking quickly, NOTHING will matter.
Fine. I will even provide for you a list of things that won't matter.
1. How you feel about taxes. Does not matter.
2. How you feel about religion. Doesn't matter.
3. The Economy?

None of the above. 21/24
How about
4. Crime?
5. Abortion?
6. Education?
7. Legal Marijuana?
8. Infrastructure?
9. Affordable Healthcare?
10. Wearing a got dam mask, FFS?
11. The Supreme Court?
12. Guns?
13. Immigration?
14. Discrimination?
15. Civil Rights?
16. Equality?
22/24
Not a single one matters if we don't get the orange squatter out of OUR White House.
Do yourself and your children and your children's children a favor and SHOW THE F*CK UP TO VOTE. 23/24
OK I miscounted. THE END!
