In the old days, if a politician was caught lying on an important substantive point, it could doom his (almost always his, not her) chances of winning an election. In the new days – and I’m talking about you, 2024 – Republicans know that they have no chance of winning unless they lie so continuously that the public will become confused as to whether the truth is even knowable. It’s a standard tactic out of the Overturning a Democracy Playbook.
Lincoln said that you can’t fool all of the people all of the time, but he didn’t say that you (in this case, Trump supporters) can’t fool most of the people some of the time. And some of the time may be right now.
