The Big Lie . . .

I've increasingly come to see the Republican right as having mastered Hitler's concept of the  big lie--telling an outrageous lie so often and with such conviction that people come to believe it.  They claim to be pro-life, but everything points to them actually being pro-death.  They favor wars at the drop of a hat--like the war in Iraq that killed tens of thousands of innocent civilians.  (They're just Arabs and Muslims, so who cares?)  They favor capital punishment, which too often kills the innocent.  They favor no controls on guns and legal access to assault weapons so we can have mass shootings.  They favor no welfare programs that can protect the poor from starvation.  They don't want affordable health care that can keep people from dying needlessly.  They are very clearly pro-death.  Why is this so hard for people to see?  Because they have bought into the Big Lie!
