23. Sincerity....once you can fake that, you have it made.
RW nutjobs are used to being lied to, mostly on religious grounds. After all, anybody who can crawl out of the mudstained wreckage of their house, look around at their storm ravaged community, and declare how much God loves them is quite accustomed to living in denial of reality. Actors are the best liars, and the best at connecting with their audience's willingness to latch on to the most implausible BS that sounds better than reality to them.

The Republican party in general is based on the same thing as all fiction is......the willful suspension of disbelief.

The 'Golden Age' they look back to is based on a series of TV sitcoms with canned laughter. Reagonomics is a blatant sop to corporate greed and the belief that richer is better. They claim religious piety and spiritual superiority, but their only measure of success is how big a pile of cash they can amass.
