1/12 The point isn't that Romney was right in 2012 that Russia was a problem or that Obama did not call Benghazi a terror attack (remember CNN's Candy Crowley at the debate?) or that collusion 2016 was a hoax or that laptop 2020 was real.

2/12 The point is that time and again the public is being deceived by an industry that is supposedly the referee for truth in government/elections -- the national political press. They repeatedly act as Super PACs for the Democrats on whatever is the topic at the time.

3/12 Being proven wrong down the road is immaterial because the moment is over. For example, the content of Biden's laptop - showcasing foreign work by Hunter that involves "the big guy" Joe - would be enough to upend the election if news media behaved as news media at the time.

4/12 What good does it do that now the laptop is treated as authentic? The moment is other things such as Ukraine, inflation and COVID where the same liars of 2012, 2016 Collusion and 2020 Laptop are lying again. Worse is that many GOPs/Cons always go along with these lies!

5/12 These guys will pile onto fellow GOPs/Cons based on those lies ("let Mueller finish his job", yelled GOPers) even if it can be known at the moment of relevance that lies are pushed. So what good does it do that those lies are exposed when they don't matter as much any more?

6/12 What good does it do that lies are exposed down the road only for GOPs/Cons TO GO ALONG WITH NEW LIES WHEN THEY MATTER? House GOP had TWO Collusion Investigations and the Senate had one despite the hoax being known as a a hoax early on for those who cared about facts.

7/12 Obviously, the media as a political hack institution will not change and they will continue to put the thumb on the scale for the Democrats. But most Republicans and conservatives playing along with those lies will also not change as you see it's happening again and again.

8/12 Republicans and many Cons behave the same way when the next thing comes up.

Why is it so?

Simple: Idiots are Republicans and Losers are Conservative. Not everyone but clearly large enough members. Meaning, a certain mindset/personality makes a person a GOP'er; not policy.

9/12 So if Stockholm Syndrome victims and rollover suckers make up large portions of your political party, they will continue behaving a certain way again and again no matter the facts and no matter how many times you yell at them they are being used. Again:

10/ Republicans are not idiots because if this were the case you can show them where/how when not to behave idiotic. The problem is that idiots are Republicans and you can't fix stupid. The party continuously keeps drawing to itself idiots and the con movements rollover suckers.

11/12 Now, there are Republicans who are not fully this way such as Reagan/Newt in their times, Tea Party and Trumpers a generation later but they too have their limits for multiple reasons: Media propaganda can be very overwhelming even for someone who wants to hold the ground.

12/12 It's also tough to hold the line when so many factions in your own political parry or ideological movement undercut you. The final reason for their limits is the mere fact that they are GOPs/Cons... Had they been true brawlers, they would be Democrats.
