The real issue isn't what you or I think as individuals.
It is what we as a country are constantly exposed to by
politicians & the media. Creating false appearances that
are in clear conflict with the facts is every bit as wrong
as lying.
The Big Lie theory works. I submit that too many liberal
politicians have embraced this as a way to win hearts &
minds & too many media outlets have allowed them a wide
forum to mislead the public.
You can ignore the irrefutable fact that most media
outlets are dominated from the top down by liberals. There
is no doubt that their bias is reflected in their
reporting & their selective reporting. This is all well
documented.
Liberal politicians have been given the opportunity to use
the media to tell all manner of lies & intentional deceit,
yet these same outlets rarely ever challenge these lies
even after they have been factually discredited. This too
is well documented.
When conservative politicians speak publicly, they are
frequently presented in as negative a manner as possible,
their every word is scrutinized & sadly, sometimes
deceitfully misrepresented. If anything they say is not
100% accurate, it is reported 24/7, again in the most
negative light. This too is well documented.
This disparate treatment of politics is a clear disservice
to this country. Our country is not given an objective,
balanced reporting of the facts. It is clearly skewed to
the left & too frequently the reporting stands in stark
contrast with the facts.
Why do you think that when I go to the source & review
what was actually said verbatim on issues, when I review
source documents, then compare them to what is reported in
the media, there is a huge difference between what
actually transpired & what has been misreported widely &
frequently by the media?
Again, you may dispute these facts, but it won't change
the reality we all must live in.

"If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it,
people will eventually come to believe it." - Joseph Goebbels
"The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State
can shield the people from the political, economic and/or
military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally
important for the State to use all of its powers to
repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the
lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest
enemy of the State." - Joseph Goebbels, German Minister of Propaganda, 1933-1945

it's origin to the creative ability of an individual
man.” - Adolf Hitler

follows the public opinion. - Chinese Proverb
