lied to!
And let’s not kid ourselves, we ARE being lied to. Just realize that when you hear something appalling about a Republican, hold off a bit. Because there may well be crucial details that are being deliberately withheld from you.
It’s like you were breathlessly told that Fred shot and killed a poor Hispanic father of three. BAD, eh? But then it turns out that Fred was in a battle and that the Hispanic was part of the enemy army attacking them… Kinda changes things, eh?
Just get the whole story. YOU need to be a little skeptical of certain things!
