@aburtch@shakedown.social Politicians always lie, and always will, but the lies of right wing politicians the world over have become so egregious that it would be comical if they weren't so dangerous.
The best time to have shut this shit down was 10 years ago or more. Now there's a whole cabal of traditional and social media companies that at best, sanewash or dismiss the lies, and at worst are entirely complicent.

@DyingWorld@mastodon.social yes, but they used to be much more artful about it and bent the truth rather than flat-out lying and not given a shit. Today they lie and no one holds them accountable. And as you said, the lies are dangerous now.
