The Republican national debt. Perfect, simple, fact.
If we could just see progressives and liberals use the term, relentlessly, it would be inspiring.
But the liars would be right there, in all their channels, so I wouldn’t expect it to be effective immediately.
Lies are cheap. Proving lies is expensive. We can’t stop lies - lies can get around the world before the facts can get theirs shoes on - we have to stop liars.
best luck to US -- b.rad
ps the ‘lies around the world’ saying has many attributions and versions, I won’t even try. Not Twain after all, it seems.
"Republican national debt" is inaccurate and not helpful in understanding that there are no actual "parties," just the illusion of choice presented by the puppets of kleptocrats to provide the illusion of choice. There are no "politics," just political theater. It's a game of "good cop, bad cop" with the audience divided by fake conflicts, meaningless to the kleptocrats but useful to divide the 99% into warring camps while they find new ways to transfer all wealth into their hands. What IS helpful is the understanding that the "national debt" is a misnomer, since debt terminology which applies to all other kinds of debt does not describe "debt" on a federal level.
