At least give Noam Chomsky credit for this - he saw the true nature of the Republican Party long before many “conservatives” did.
The press constantly portrays republicans in a perverse way. It works at times. Not that it is true, but it does tend to down play conservatives. Which was the intention. Few take the time to know what is truly happening. the press has been liberal for as long as I can remember, which is a long time.
God help and bless AMERICA!
It’s not just the Republican Party.
Chomsky’s description applies to just about any type of modern-day election - from the POTUS down to the local dogcatcher.
It’s all just a big con.
