re: As a Republican what’s something you used to believe but had to come to terms was false

I used to believe that there were weapons of mass destruction bc I found it impossible to believe that we would go to war based on false evidence. I didn’t agree with going into Iraq ever, but I couldn’t believe our government would just go invade someone for the purpose of just invading someone.

When the Federal Government refused to investigate election fraud, I realized the Republican Party and the government had been lying to me by manipulating my own patriotism. This pointless Ukraine obsession sealed the deal for me - they only care about war for the sake of going to war. They’ll just make up a national interest if need be.

I’ll never believe anything that establishment republicans or the military industrial complex says again.
