    This headline could be replaced with literally anything they’ve ever said after “Republicans want you to think”. The entire platform is based on lies by necessity.

      Also the majority of actual voter fraud has been by republicans.

      And then there was that attempted coup.

      You could stop at “Republicans want you to think” with nothing after it at all and it’s still a lie. They don’t want people to think at all. The 2012 Texas GOP platform literally spelled out that they oppose the teaching of critical thinking skills in their platform.

      We oppose the teaching of Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) (values clarification), critical thinking skills and similar programs that are simply a relabeling of Outcome-Based Education (OBE) (mastery learning) which focus on behavior modification and have the purpose of challenging the student’s fixed beliefs and undermining parental authority.

      “Republicans want you to think” seems pretty counterintuitive, since my experience has been “Republicans don’t want you to think”

        “republicans want you to think the lies they spew daily are true.” Turns it into a factual statement.
