    How exactly were they misled? He’s been pretty upfront about being a monster.

      Mariam-Webster definition of mislead:

      to lead in a wrong direction or into a mistaken action or belief often by deliberate deceit

      or;

      to lead astray : give a wrong impression

      Every single modern republican has been mislead.

          A lot of them probably did because the right openly accepted non-white and LGBTQ+ people into their ranks when they all banded together to oppose the lockdowns. They were absolutely right to do so then, but now the pendulum of oppression has swung the other way, so they’ll abandon the right and go to the left until the left does something else insane.

          We desperately need an independent third party in the U.S.

            They absolutely did not accept non-white and LGBTQ people during COVID, the COVID era was the Trump Administration. Lockdowns were a Trump policy and it was specifically because he didn’t do enough early enough to contain infections.

        Yep. He probably couldn’t care about that community until he realized that hating it got ratings up with hateful conservatives.

        The whole GOP used hate-based politics for decades. Absolutely none of this is shiny and new!
