Why do conservatives think they have to lie to get votes?

If their platform is not attractive enough on its own merit, why not adjust the platform rather than lie?

They’re not even really relying on lies to get votes right now. Instead their plan seems to be to make voting as difficult as possible for people likely to vote Democratic and then rely on gerrymandering and the outsized political power of rural whites that’s built into the Constitution to rule in spite of not having the support of a plurality; furthermore, the Democratic Party is beholden [i]enough[/i] to big business, though not nearly so much so as the Republican Party, that they’re just going to roll over and let Republicans make election laws to ensure their dominance at the federal, state, and local levels for at least a generation. Soon we’re going to be like Russia. Sure, we have “open elections”, but everyone will already know who’s going to win.
