10/ Reactionary beliefs lost in the "marketplace of ideas" decades ago. Science proved the Bible's creation, Babel, & flood stories were fables.
Tax cuts don't pay for themselves. The fiscal multiplier is real. Vaccines work.
Trump wasn't lying when he said "I love the poorly educated."
To think that he's competent, honest, intelligent, or fair is an obvious delusion. He needs ignorance. https://plus.flux.community/p/the-science-behind-why-donald-trump

11/ The only way Republicans win elections is ignorance. They can't govern. They have no reform ideas.
They just slash and burn because they hate the idea of community and shared responsibility. We saw that with their anti-mask and vaccine obsessions during Covid.
Reactionary Republicans have no affirmative ideas. They cannot build great things, only tear down what they cannot understand.
This is why they must lie and censor others. They'd never have a chance otherwise.
