GOP lies and hate keep killing this country and state

Some of this is everyday lies and spin, but some of this is far worse and harmful.

My point is that it's all of a piece: there's a straight line running from voodoo economics, to climate change denial, to deep state paranoia and the false flag hysteria we're seeing this weekend. And pious appeals for civility are not going to change anything 7/

And now some overarmed MAGAt has shot up a synagogue on the day of a baby's bris, killing several people. This is a natural result of a president, GOP politicians and GOP media that is glad to stir up lies and hate to get votes.

Scott Walker has also played this 2-step, including the loosening of gun restrictions after a different racist white guy shot up another place of worship in Wisconsin in 2012.

Screw thoughts and prayers. It's time that these purveyors of hate pay a consequence for what they have enabled. And they'd better pray that all that it's limited to losses at the ballot box on Nov. 6. If not, it'll get much worse for a lot of people on all sides.
