Republican Myths

The problem, of course, is that reality has a well-known leftwing bias. That’s because reality, unlike rightwing ideology, is rooted in facts. For example:

Trickle-down economics has never helped the working class; it’s a scam to transfer wealth to the rich.

Immigrants are not more likely to commit crimes; they’re less likely.

Late-term abortions are rare and almost always involve severe fetal abnormalities or risks to the mother; women don’t “love getting abortions” or do so with little thought.

Unions raise wages and reduce inequality; they don’t “steal from workers.”

Climate change is real and accelerating, and fossil fuel companies and Republicans have known it — and spent billions to cover it up — for decades.

Renewable energy is cheaper than coal, gas, or oil in most of the world.

People on public assistance are usually not “lazy” but are either disabled, working or actively seeking work, or living in areas where there is no work.

Universal healthcare works in every other developed nation; it’s not “impossible” to implement here in America.

The U.S. was not founded as a Christian nation, but as a secular republic.
