Lies, Politics and Democracy

quote [ The Republican Party enabled Donald Trump, as he convinced his base that the election was stolen.
.
McConnell chooses silence.
[Pence] says to the President, “I can't do it.”
Liz had given a really compelling narrative about why we have to certify the election.
.
A great deal of American democracy relies on simple good faith.
.
If anything was revealed to us, it was just how fragile the system we have.
.
It was the lie that
sparked an insurrection, existentialist threat to American democracy, created by decisions made over years, partisan warfare, moral compromise, warnings - ignored. ]

Does anyone watch PBS?
Some would believe every word in this documentary, yet the very documentary techniques used on this program, broadcast falsehoods and are believed by others.

So much like Trump, not your fault that you can't read the original quote, which has notion to do with me, blame me.

So much like Trump, not your fault that you can't read the original quote, which has nothing to do with me, blame me. You've missed what is important - there is a need to elect responsible politicians who deal with substantive issues, are moral and act on existential threats. Throw in law abiding. It takes citizens to stop Fox from telling distructive lies. PBS's efforts are so futile.
