I'm not sure why Conservative voters seem to think anyone is going to buy the lie that it's all "Liberal propaganda!" based on "the crazies in the US!" while they actively support a party where the majority is trying to crack that debate wide open.

Their defense is basically "hey, don't worry, it'll never happen because the party I desperately want in power that also wants it to happen will never have enough power to make it happen." And they honestly think people care what the leader says? How've the last couple leaders fared? Lots of party support, huh? They've shown really great control of their party, yeah?

I don't know if these people think everyone else is stupid, but someone is either missing the writing on the wall or trying to cover it with a post-it hoping everyone else does.
