To me it feels like as the fascists just become further emboldened, the fact they can get away with more and more blatant lying is 'the point'. Like lying so blatantly is an act of disrespect they can get away with as they are no longer bound to the truth by strategic necessity.

Agree. It happens with both sides. It’s just acceptable if it’s your side. We ALL need to take a step back and see who is really behind this, and it’s not this president or any president. Follow the money. Follow the donors.
