As we all can see, the narrative being offered by congressional Republicans has nothing to do with affordability, healthcare, the war in Iran, or any of the dozens of other issues that concern the wellbeing of the common person. Instead, it’s the singular belief that Democrats hate America, and will do everything in their power to destroy it, by ushering in communism as our new form of government.

But doesn’t that seem a bit far-fetched?  Granted, we’re not as sharp as we were when our educational system was still strong, but what type of idiot finds this credible?  Let’s take Bernie Sanders, elected to congress in 1990, as an example of an extremely visible progressive, a man who thinks that countries that provide free healthcare and education provide a better quality to life to their citizens than those that don’t.

Now, in his 36 years in congress, has he turned Vermont (see below) into a hellhole?  Does anyone the IQ of a caterpillar think that he hates America?

Do Democrats Hate America? Is That a Message the GOP Wants to Run With?
