It’s all so skewed, so tilted, at best it’s a “can’t see the forest for the trees” situation, or David and Goliath.
Not confined to msm, many billionaires, but including the DOE, many if not most colleges, and more than all that.

Literally, if human reasoning were all this world had, unorganized, rag-tag, diverse conservatives would have no voice at all.
Thankfully, there is more, and it’s sufficient to make life worth living.

If there was nothing but human reasoning, life would quickly become totally insufferable.

And everyone else (including any Republicans and Democrats with half a brain)

ALL spending by billionaires to try to influence our elections is a danger to democracy and our country.

To be fair, I assume that there are some Democrats with whole brains. I don't think they all just have half a brain.

Probably a few of them :lol:

Although it only takes half a brain to figure out that all spending by billionaires (regardless of ideology) is a danger to democracy.

I thought we were supposed to care about this sort of thing. Wasn’t that was the so-called Twitter files were all about?

It's only bad if liberals do it.

Wait, I thought we weren’t supposed to be concerned about that.
