This is a list of legal cases rooted in lies spread by politicians and operatives. Truth is an endangered characteristic because some folk have been allowed to lie without challenge -by voters; by faith folk; by the “morally righteous”.
A lie is a lie is a lie. We should NOT reward liars with positions of power. But, here we are, our neighbors are legitimizing pathological liars. Media (and voters) are failing if they don’t fact-check. fails when they don’t Politics isn’t a game; and hasn’t been for a long. Truth decay is anti-USA. But, that’s not to say our democracy has been absent lies for centuries. However, we know there have been loud voices supporting the aspiration of liberty and justice for all. This Bull Connor/George Wallace/KKK/Hitler 2.0 rhetoric occupies our House, Senate, State Houses & city halls. And, the owner of this lying pathology wants the White House again.
No longer are we just liberal vs conservative. We are fighting wrong vs righteous. The political right of today is toxic and is poisoning the U.S. brand on the world stage. We can’t afford the political ping-pong of going Blue, then Red, then back to Blue. Face it, the Blue is tasked to clean up the Red messes (Covid; civil rights; recessions; etc) — but, not given the full media credit. We are no longer a nation where bipartisanship works like it should. You cannot (or SHOULD not) collaborate and compromise with liars, racists and crooks.
Nobody is exempt from what could happen, if we allow hate to win. We need to vote FOR BLUE, BLACK, WHITE, ASIAN, NATIVE, LATINÉ, IMMIGRANT, HONEST, JUSTICE, RED, DEMOCRACY, TRUTH for OUR future’s sake. Remember in November -TO WIN.
