The Washington Post fact checker posted recently "There's a recurring pattern to Trump's spreading of false information. First, he repeats a false claim endlessly, no matter how often it is debunked. Then, he elevates it every so often with a dusting of new information, usually a falsehood derived from a modicum of fact."<<
Yes he lies all the time but mostly gets away with it.
Joe Biden and Kamela tell just as many but don't get the same publicity.
The media have to try to sway your opinion by beating you over the head with something.
'You can't vote for him, he's a liar and a mysoginist.'
'You have to vote for Kamela - because she's an multi-ethnic woman'
If you don't vote for Kamela you must hate women or be racist.
The arguments are never centred around competence.
Trumps lies are like this:
Imagine you're a 19yo bloke and your girl says she loves you, you like her but don't really love her because you're not really ready to settle down, you just want to have fun.
Well imagine your girl says "I know you don't love me, but can you say it anyway, even if it's a lie, I want to hear you say it."
These are the polarised supporters on both sides.
They both want to be told what they want to hear, even if it's all bs.
And both sides are willing to spoon feed them that crap - but Trumps lies get all the publicity.
Go back to the Trump presidency.
If Trump gaffed, we'd hear about it for weeks and hear how he was unfit for office.
Biden couldn't complete full sentences without a gaffe, rambling incoherently, which no-one could make any sense what the hell he was saying.
We always heard Biden is fit for office, even though he's a braindead zombie that would often make up stories about his dead son and then trail off about eating choclate chip ice cream cones.
Newsflash... They're ALL liars.
