Why should Americans believe anything they say? The Right Wing alternate universe is out of touch, the last refuge of secessionists and old failed John Birch fantasies. @ Gwen

Classic projection from the creaking antique Right Wing. The old dogs cannot think outside the box, so they cling to dog whistle legislation proposals for the bibles and guns retrograders.

Voters can see and think for ourselves. Patronizing lectures about “underclass” and “self deportation” and “rodents” do nothing but confirm.
