They fundamentally do not believe that minorities, working class people, or women deserve to be citizens who are allowed to vote. Only rich white male landowners are proper citizens in their eyes, and the constitutional amendments which granted voting rights to those other classes of people were fraudulent. So, naturally, every vote by a member of one of those groups must, by [their] definition, be fraudulent. They simply do not believe in democracy for everyone, only for themselves and people like them.

I remember thinking decades ago “surely this thrice-married serial philanderer will eventually wear out his welcome as the spokesperson of the ‘Family Values’ movement.” How young and naive I was back then.

I don’t believe he is even telling the truth about that. Which, somehow, seems worse: he’s lying and he’s mealymouthed.
And here I am talking about a public figure who’s famous for a job he hasn’t had in almost 22 years. Dammit…
They’re not wrong, y’know…

Stepford Inc.? But I think they all look alike because they have the same brain-worm that causes their eyes to spin counterclockwise.
