Honesty in U.S. Politics

At a certain level, the 2022 midterms were a referendum on honesty, at least as far as the voter fraud myth was concerned; most of the purveyors of the Big Lie got clobbered.

Yet that doesn’t mean we’ve moved into an era of candor and transparency.  I was amused at the Republicans’ political posturing in Texas, where they have been in power for the last 27 years.  Their slogan?  “Help us fix what’s broken in Texas.”

I kid you not.
