Taken from the standard Republican book of denial and deflection. I don’t think anyone is buying your bullshit, Pudding Boy Ronnie. Fuck off with your trying to twist your attempts to sell off the state’s natural areas to your development cronies and hope that no one noticed into some kind of victimhood narrative. Weak-ass weirdo.
Unfortunately, politics is teams sports in this country. Too many people are concerned with their side winning rather than what is best for the country or even for themselves. The propaganda machine has pushed people to support a small subset of issues as the biggest issues and these are often not the issues that actually have any impact on the day-to-day lives of most Americans. Critical thinking is not part of the discourse anymore for a large percentage, just rhetoric and slogans.
