What passing-bells for these who die as cattle?

— Only the monstrous anger of the guns.

Only the stuttering rifles’ rapid rattle

Can patter out their hasty orisons…

    He’s a Republican correct? If so, you don’t need to ask if he’s knowingly lying, that answer is always “yes” especially if he’s a guest on Propaganda Now™©®

      This is false. Republicans don’t always lie. If they did, literally nobody would believe them.

      What they do is actually far worse. They tell just enough truth to make their lies seem believable. That’s why they end up being dangerous: because they’re believable.

      I know you don’t believe them or find them believable, but enough people do that they keep getting elected.

        More accurately enough people blindly vote with party lines to keep Republicans in power

        The republicans don’t write the talking points, right wing media does. The politicians just parrot them. Right wing media dictates what the party is saying.
