    Yeah that’s one of the most telling things about the American conservative platform these days.

    Anti education because education undermines their position.

    Rely on the electoral college to get their candidate in office because they can’t win the popular vote.

    Fight rabidly to preserve their gerrymandered districts because that’s the only way they can cling to power.

    Invent and perpetuate lies and conspiracies because they need a distraction to keep their base afraid.

    …not saying the other side doesn’t use some pages out of that playbook as well, but for the GOP, that’s their whole book.
