GOP equals LIE

Why are Republicans OK with being called the "Big Lie" Party?

They know that Joe Biden won the election and if there was any stealing going on, it was from the Trump side. We know how he tried to steal votes in GA. Even today, he is still trying to steal AZ. He lost the election by a huge popular vote, the most in a very long time. All the experts and the State Legislatures also declared Biden the winner. As did over 60 court judges when presented with the Trump cases. Even the conservative Supreme Court shot them down. So there is no doubt but that they are indulging in a "Big Lie". But why?

They don't mind being called "liars". But they do not want to be called "traitors". In fact, they are both. It was their promotion of the Big Lie that led to the treasonous act of January 6th. Make no mistake, it was a terrorist act. People feared for their lives. They barricaded themselves behind doors and under tables. Their lives were threatened as the angry mob ransacked the Capitol, smearing feces on the walls, breaking windows and causing millions in damages, and screaming epithets and threatening to hang people. Some people died. (This is why they must silence Liz Cheney)

So the GOP does not want to be associated with that treasonous, despicable act. They would prefer to talk about the Big Lie. Lying is not as serious as betraying your country. Surely their supporters will understand?

And they want the American people to put them back into control of the Congress?
