RE: https://mastodon.social/@randahl/116212764694043220 The most infuriating thing about the #Trump era is the ability for politicians to knowingly lie and there are zero consequences for it and everyone just shrugs and moves on. There is literally more evidence that Trump raped children, than there is that Iran has a working nuclear enrichment program. And yet he’s allowed to run the country and get us into another never-ending war that will destabilize the entire region and cost us trillions of dollars without any kind of check or balance on those decisions.

@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.

@aburtch@shakedown.social Fact free politics, populism, and clinging to power. Machiavellian. Something radical needs to happen to change this. But will it?
