I'm done with American politics...
Except to say that Republicans on SW lie as frequently and brazenly as their great leader.

@TheunderdogofNY no it isn't and it over simplifies. Technically everyone lies, it is not and never has been a good excuse. I have another idiom for you, two wrongs don't make a right.

@TheunderdogofNY If you want to correct the OP and say 'all politicians lie then I am perfectly in my rights to point out that everyone lies. It is the same premise and the same logic. There is not a person alive of normal mental function that has not lied before for a number of different reasons. Saying that two of the most powerful Republican politicians are proven to be far more dishonest than the average politician is also accurate and saying 'everyone else lies or 'all politicians lie' does not change nor excuse the first fact.
Along the same lines, saying that "All politicians lie. Party has nothing to do with it" does not refute the OPs stated experience. "Republicans on SW lie as frequently and brazenly as their great leader". It is the same experience I would say we have all had and @MarineBob's attempt to delegitimize her experience by stating the obvious is imho a horrible excuse for being a complete cunt.

Trump lies, lies, and then lies some more. He can't even tell a simple story, without embellishing, at a minimum.
The "conservatives" of SW, are a combination of racists, xenophobes, and misogynists and some, I assume are good people who believe what Trump tells them.
That, however, is no reason not to have good debates. Most of them block me, and some have gone through the trouble of creating additional accounts, so they can attack me, and use their accounts to support each other. It's nice to live rent free in their heads.
You may think the debate is not worth having, but the 2020 elections is the most important, since 1860. We, and the world, cannot afford not to have this debate.

It is a contagion and with the anti vaccine movement it is tough to contain that type of deplorability.

I think they actually believe the lies they’re told, so not really liars as much as gullible repeaters of lies.
