As a conservative growing up I've learned to now loathe everything that was taught to me because they were all brandished on lies. I've been told that liberals were ruining this country and perpetuating a culture of laziness with their handouts. The conservative belief revolves around the idea of the "hard working American."
Things have changed and the ideology of the hard working American no longer conforms to the times, but the power hungry and irresponsible GOP will tell you otherwise.
Couldn't have said it any better.
I voted conservative for 30 years. I was a big fan of Reagan. But around ten years ago, I realized that much of the stuff that Conservatives and Republicans said as facts were false. I couldn't reconcile always lying and making **** up to get around the truth - which came more from liberals than from conservatives.
No, the economy does NOT perform better under GOP presidents. No, tax cuts do NOT increase overall government revenue. No, tax cuts do NOT cause wealth to trickle down. No, the GOP does NOT reduce government debt when in power. These guys lie, lie and lie and then they yell Fake News when challenged by facts (like we see in this thread).
