Republicans Must Lie to Survive
Republicans must lie to survive: They have no other choice
From Ronald Reagan to Donald Trump, the path to Republican political success is rooted in profound deception
Republicans Must Lie to Survive: They have No Other Choice
Per the above article; “The GOP exists to serve the interests of the wealthy and big business that comprise the richest 1%. No party, however, can ever win an election with only 1% of the vote. So to win elections, the GOP must necessarily reach beyond its own wealthy core and attempt to convince a large segment of working people in the 99% to vote for Republicans.
Normally, a political party wins elections by offering policies that benefit the voters. These policies attract the voters who then cast their votes for the political party.
But for the Republican Party, this is not an option. A candidate could not possibly campaign on the policies favored by the 1%. Just imagine the stump speech. “Vote for me and I will slash your health care! In fact, I’ll do even better — I’ll fight like mad to completely eliminate your health care!”
“Vote for me and I will get rid of your pensions! This would save corporations a bundle and boost profits to the shareholders! Screw the workers!”
“Vote for me and I promise to ship your jobs overseas under globalization! The exact same labor can be hired in Asia for only pennies! Hurray!”
The Republican Party is left with only one option. It cannot possibly be honest about its true intentions and actual policies. The working class would never vote for them. Instead, the only option is to lie”.
The reason Republicans can get away with lying more than Democrats is because Republican constituents have been conditioned to not trust the “Liberal Media”. So they are more likely to not question the lies from Republican politicians.
When the news media calls out Republicans lies, average Joe Republican voters feels the ‘Liberal Media’ is picking on the person who’s lying and lets the lies slide.
According to PolitiFact, Republicans Lie Three Times More Often Than Democrats.
The study found Republicans to be less trustworthy than Democrats, based on the number of false claims made during President Obama‘s second term.
The study, by Center for Media and Public Affairs (CMPA) at George Mason University, took into account 100 PolitiFact-checked statements made by Democrats (46 claims) and Republicans (54 claims) in the first four months of Obama’s second term.
“PolitiFact rated 32% of Republican claims as “false” or “pants on fire,” compared to 11% of Democratic claims – a 3 to 1 margin. Conversely, Politifact rated 22% of Democratic claims as “entirely true” compared to 11% of Republican claims – a 2 to 1 margin”.
“A majority of Democratic statements (54%) were rated as mostly or entirely true, compared to only 18% of Republican statements. Conversely, a majority of Republican statements (52%) were rated as mostly or entirely false, compared to only 24% of Democratic statements”.
CMPA President Dr. Robert Lichter stated: “While Republicans see a credibility gap in the Obama administration, PolitiFact rates Republicans as the less credible party.”
Analysis: Telling lies has become the norm for today’s Republicans | CNN Politics
To assume lies would sink House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy is to misunderstand the nature of today’s Republican Party: They actually demonstrate his credentials to lead it.
Per the above article: “To assume lies would sink House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy is to misunderstand the nature of today’s Republican Party: They actually demonstrate his credentials to lead it.
For a minority party joining blue-collar voters driven by cultural resentment with affluent donors fixed on the bottom line, gaining and wielding power requires dissembling beyond the conventional equivocation that politicians in all parties have always used to amass popular support.
One of the GOP’s most successful political consultants of recent decades issued that judgment in a confessional 2020 memoir. Stuart Stevens titled his book: “It Was All a Lie.”
A Public Religion Research Institute poll earlier this year showed about one-fourth of Republicans are drawn to the bizarre fantasies of QAnon, a movement that contends Satan-worshipping pedophiles control the government and the media.
With the 2020 big lie, Republicans use false claims of fraud to pretend Trump didn’t lose at all. In fact, House Republicans have made telling the truth about the election a disqualification. They fired Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming as conference chair and ostracized Rep. Adam Kinzinger of Illinois, the two Republican members participating in a House committee investigation of January 6.”
Ex-Bush Speechwriter: A ‘Loyal’ Republican Is Now Either A Sucker Or A Liar
Michael Gerson also named the group of Republicans who have “the most to atone for.”
Former Bush Speechwriter Says Loyal Republicans Are Either “Liars Or Suckers”
Michael Gerson, a former speechwriter for George W. Bush, said in order for someone to call themselves a “loyal Republican” they would either have to be a liar or a sucker… because it takes both Liars and Suckers to keep the Republican Party alive today.
The GOP has a new strategy to win the 2024 election… just lie until people vote for them.
Politifact debunks Trump’s allegations of “fraud and a stolen election”. Additional false statements debunked include; “The Harris-Biden Administration fraudulently manipulating Job Statistics”… “Harris’ Aug. 7 rally near Detroit was AI-generated and there was nobody there”… “Joe Biden is letting millions of people from jails, from prisons, from insane asylums, from mental institutions, drug dealers pour in”… “Kamala Harris wants to forcibly compel doctors and nurses against their will to give chemical castration drugs to young children”… “During the 2020 Minnesota riots after George Floyd’s murder, Gov. Tim Walz didn’t call in the National Guard, so I sent in the National Guard to save Minneapolis”… “Eighty-two percent of the country understands that the 2020 election was rigged”… “There is no evidence Joe Biden won”… “In 2020, the ballots that were counted were fake ballots”… “Democrats used COVID to cheat in the 2020 election”.
Trump falsely accuses Ted Cruz of “stealing” the 2016 Iowa Republican Primary. Trump falsely accuses Ted Cruz’s father of being involved in JFK’s assassination. In response, Ted Cruz calls Trump a “Pathological Liar who doesn’t know the difference between truth and lies” and claims Trump “is a narcissist at a level this country’s never seen”.
Dr. John Gartner states; “If we could construct a psychiatric Frankenstein monster, we could not create a leader more dangerously mentally ill than Donald Trump. He is a paranoid, psychopathic, narcissist who is divorced from reality and lashes out impulsively at his imagined enemies“.
Republicans exposed for adopting Trump’s gaslighting tactic to avoid harsh political realities
Republicans’ War on the Recent Past,” about how Republicans have grown increasingly comfortable simply denying inconvenient facts or constructing false histories to avoid having to deal with being associated with unpopular policies and events.
Republican Candidates such as George Santos, Hershel Walker and J.R. Majewski all got caught Lying to get elected
Republican Appointed Right Wing Judges / Justices Lied Under Oath
Republicans lied about crime, inflation and taxes to get elected in the 2022 midterms, falsely blaming Democrats & President Biden.
Republicans told outrageous lies about Democrats at the 1st GOP Debate in August 2023 claiming they’re for Abortions up until Birth as a scare tacit to deflect from their own Radical Anti-Abortion policies such as NO exceptions for rape or incest, forcing 10 year old girls to give birth to a rapists child, prison sentences if a woman gets an abortion and laws allowing Anti-Abortion Vigilantes to sue anyone who assists a women seeking an abortion for $10,000.
Republican Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin LIES to voters, falsely claiming Democrats are for abortion up until birth.
At a Capitol Hill hearing, REPUBLICAN Georgia Rep. Andrew Clyde (R) stated: “Watching the TV footage of those who entered the Capitol and walked through Statuary Hall showed people in an orderly fashion staying between the stanchions and ropes taking videos and pictures,” Clyde said. “You know, if you didn’t know the TV footage was a video from January the 6th, you would actually think it was a normal tourist visit.”
The above video proves REPUBLICAN Rep. Andrew Clyde is a LIAR!

Ted Cruz Lies About January 6 Protestors Being Peaceful
Video proves Ted Cruz to be a lying partisan hack claiming on Fox News, January 6 “Protestors” (actually Rioters) were peaceful while he calls Abortion Rights Protestors THUGS. Cruz accuses “Democrats & the Corporate Media” of slandering January 6 Rioters. Fox News is complicit in perpetuating the lie by failing to state the facts about January 6 and push back.
Ted Cruz ABSOLUTELY ROASTED using his own words in Viral Supercut
Ted Cruz shamelessly smeared peaceful protesters speaking out against the Supreme Court’s decision on Roe v. Wade while defending the January 6 insurrection. Francis Maxwell rolls the tape and exposes Ted’s hypocrisy.
After learning that he lost the 2020 election, Trump refused to admit defeat and claimed without any proof that the election was stolen. 5 deaths were attributed to his inciting violence to overturn the 2020 election on January 6, 2021.
Republicans Lied about Capital Riots, Blaming Antifa to deflect responsibility away from their own lies about the 2020 Election being “Rigged”, “Stolen” and “Trump Won in a Landslide” with NO PROOF to back up their false claims. It’s important to note that they hate Antifa because Republicans are Fascists who hate Democracy. Fascists around the world uses lies and conspiracy theories to advance Anti-Democratic Authoritarian Regimes (like Russia blaming Ukraine for the war Putin started).
FBI’s Christopher Wray says no evidence Capitol rioters were Antifa
Parody video shows how Republicans has been lying about crime
Republican Rep. Jim Banks and Steve Scalise caught making outrageous LIES about Nancy Pelosi being responsible for delayed help from the National Guard on January 6, then try to blame Democrats for not investigating which blows up in their face.
Republicans LIED about January 6 to Deflect Blame
2 Weeks after the Election was called for Joe Biden, Pundits from the FOX Republican Propaganda Network Made False Claims (LIED) about the results nearly 800 times
Fox News repeatedly aided Trump’s efforts to undermine election results, laying the groundwork to cry foul if Trump lost, echoing debunked theories of fraud, pushing the idea that Democrats are trying to “steal” this from him, and arguing that Trump is justified in pursuing his claims of a rigged election. This pattern of coverage continued in the lead-up to the day of the riots.
Fox News host Sean Hannity admitted under oath that he never believed Trump was cheated of victory in the 2020 presidential election.
The “Fox-Can-Lie Lawsuit” established that they are not required to be truthful by law. Since Fox has established that they have the legal right not to be truthful, Fox Opinion Hosts tells their conservative viewers that Democrats are “Radical Leftist Socialists” who want to take away your guns & freedom, that Republican policies are good for this country, that Trump’s a rational person and the MSM (Main Stream Media) such as ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, CNN, New York Times, Washington Post etc is “Fake News”. ALL the exact opposite of the TRUTH.
Right-Wing outlets want to KEEP their viewers brainwashed so they never watch legitimate news and learn the truth about the damage Trump and Republicans has been doing to our country while screwing over “the little guy”. Also, the more people who watches, the more money they can bring in for advertising.
Most of FOX’s viewers probably have no idea that Fox can legally LIE to them, so they believe everything they see & hear on FOX.
BUSTED! The Dishonest Methods FOX Uses to Make Their Viewers Disrespect and Hate Joe Biden
Fox News was caught red-handed deceptively editing a sound bite to make a politician say something they didn’t say. This is another version of how Republican Propaganda Network FOX lies to their viewers to make them Disrespect Joe Biden.
Republicans lied about Inflation to get elected in 2022, falsely blaming Democrats & President Biden when it’s a global problem affecting over 100 counties with inflation rates higher than the U.S.
Republicans Are Lying About Social Security
REPUBLICANS LYING ABOUT 87000 IRS AGENTS COMING FOR YOU |
Desperate that they are LOSING in the polls because their repressive policies are so unpopular (such as anti-abortion laws forcing 10 year old girls to give birth to her rapists child), Republicans invent a NEW conspiracy claiming; “Democrats’ new army of 87,000 IRS agents will be coming for you”, “The “IRS is “Joe Biden’s new army” that will “hunt down and kill middle class that don’t pay enough” and Senator Chuck Grassley; “Are they coming for taxpayers with loaded AR-15’s?”.
Republicans are LIARS who will do & say whatever to takes to scare gullible people into voting for them to stay in power. Here’s some of Republican’s FEAR MONGERING tweets…
Former RNC Chairman Michael Steele Calls out Republicans Chuck Grassley, Ted Cruz and others for lying about 87,000 IRS Agents coming after Businesses & the Middle Class
This is the same type of fear mongering and lies we heard from Republicans claiming there would be “Death Panels” after President Obama and Democrats passed the Affordable Care Act which gave millions of people Health Care. These are the same Republicans who echoed Trump’s “BIG LIE” that the 2020 Election was “Rigged”, “Stolen” and “Trump Won in a Landslide”. Believing Republican’s lies can have devastation consequences, such as deaths and incarceration of those who participated in storming the capital.
LIES and FEAR tactics is ALL Republicans have to offer.
The IRS is NOT increasing audits on middle class by hiring 87K new agent
Per the above article; “Republicans have seized on a particularly gross conspiracy theory to justify their ridiculous claim that all of this somehow impacts the personal freedoms of every day Trump voters: “87,000 new IRS agents.”
“The Biden Admin has fully weaponized DOJ & FBI to target their political enemies. And with 87K new IRS agents, they’re coming for YOU too,” Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Tex., tweeted last Monday, always eager to be out there first with the most shameless Republican rhetoric.
“Who do you think they’ll weaponize the 87,000 IRS agents against? The answer is obvious. Their political enemies,” Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., tweeted, always eager to beat Cruz in the race to the bottom.
Unsurprisingly, the talking point spread, with the right-wing conspiracy theory machine hyping the idea that IRS agents are about to kick down a door and kidnap your family — and worse, your guns — any minute now. Fox News, always eager to muddy the waters when Trump commits crimes, got heavily involved.”
Jim Jordan and Republicans are using Intimation Tactics to STOP Fact Finding Researchers from Exposing Republican’s LIES
Why? Because Republicans are corporate boot-lickers who are bought and paid for by the RICH and Big Business Corporations. Their job is to protect the rich and corporate interests at all costs, by lying, cheating or doing what-ever it takes. So low information, unformed, brainwashed people continues to vote for them, against their own best interests.

FDR Exposes the Origins of the Romney/Ryan “Big Lie”
Right-wingers – we call them Republicans here in the US – haven’t changed their strategies much at all over the years – that Romney and Ryan are following an old, old pattern. According to Godwin’s Law – the first person to use a Hitler comparison in an argument – loses. Well…call me a loser – and call President Franklin Roosevelt a loser too – because in 1944 – while running for re-election – Roosevelt compared the Republican’s political strategy that year to Hitler’s. Now don’t expect President Obama to compare Republicans to Hitler like Roosevelt did. He shouldn’t. But he should call out the liars – and use the actual word “liar” in doing so. Because if he doesn’t – then the propaganda machine on the Right won’t stop – and he could be left wondering, on November 7th, how he lost an election when the Republican and Rove and Koch Brothers attack ads were all filled with lies – big, big lies. Consider it a warning, Mr. President. Oh, and one more thing – in that same speech that Roosevelt called out Republicans for using Hitler’s techniques – he also called them out for suppressing the vote – which just so happens to be the Republican strategy today too – right alongside lying. The more things change – the more they stay the same
