I mean seriously, that's what the R's have been doing for years and it seems to be working.
Should we just make shit up? Sling crap that doesn't exist?
It keeps us chasing our tails, while they enact crazy bills and executive orders.

(13,485 posts)2. Lies can only go so far
before facts catch up and quash them. People wise up with facts eventually. The issue is how much time passes and how much damage do lies create before losing the war?
Lies on our side will do no more than create confusion, lengthen the battle, cause more casualties and open the door to other forms of human control.
Stick to facts and reason.
