I know this might be hard to understand:

But a lot of us Republicans (or ex-Republican in my case) were lied to, and are still being lied to, by our leaders.

If anything, Republicans are way way way too trusting of their own. Republicans trust Republicans without question. We didn't question our own. We didn't critique our own.

It's still happening.

My Republican family believes babies are aborted after being born, they are told so by Republican leaders. That's why they want abortion bans.
