"Every government lies now and then, but authoritarian regimes go further. They don’t just stretch or hide the truth. They look you in the eye and tell you that what you just saw didn’t happen." Propaganda is now part of our politics.

They aren't just lies. Donald sells false hope & promises. He is the most successful salesman of empty promises & false hope. https://youtu.be/IoENWdeW5jI
Great story. Here is the situation. No world leader believes these guys. Makes no sense. Trump and the crew are getting the proverbial “ I will call you in the morning”. China has said drop your tariffs and we will negotiate. That is a beating. Japan has the same attitude.
Exactly. “Now” part of our politics? Right-wing propaganda has been the GOP agenda for decades, from their “Southern Strategy” to attract racist Southern Dems to the GOP, to their takeover of talk radio with Rush Limbaugh & the rest, to Fox News with their 24/7 right-wing spin & deliberate lies.
Talk about waste, fraud and abuse! Why pay these people all this money when robots could do their damn jobs - they don't think - they just do what they're told!
Yep and the trump administration is full of liars and intimidation.. you can’t trust any Republican they all follow Trump and his instructions on how he wants things to run!
Everyone knows it’s bullshit. The only ones that don’t are MAGA. And when they can’t shop at Walmart or the Dollar General, they’ll also know it’s all bullshit. Trump owns this, and there’s no cover for him.
I simply assume any statements from the administration -- and this goes double for DJT himself -- are completely fabricated. Usually, assumptions aren't really necessary as the statements are absurdities.
Many people understand how the media works to say, not say and change the meaning of language for political reasons. If one were to remove all the nothing words from Trumps and minions speeches, what would be left? Truth does have a sound that has a clarity.
A TELEVISED insurrection becoming an ANTIFA! + FBI attack / police invitation tour/ hidden exonerating videos/ peaceful protest by brave patriotic heroes who deserve pardons and restitution - steps a wee bit over the "lie" line.
Historical Note-The Republican Party (REP) gave us Nixon, & they took him away. This REP has nominated, enabled & empowered the current president. In my lifetime I’ve watched them go from party o/ country to power o/ party. Question-Are there 12 REPS out there who can put their country first today?🤔
I heard the medical association already diagnosed the problem; it's called delusional Trumpism Maga Earth🌎TWO syndrome disorder disease; discovered after analyzing all the data, infestation or infection all started after a inferior alien species named Trump exposed the American people on Earth🌎ONE!
The Gov. lies all the time and has since day 1 and will never stop. Politicians lie and America is full of political corruption. It's an OLIGARCHY for cryin' out loud -- something they don't teach us in school . . . they teach forgettable shit, not how to select a 'proper' POTUS & think 'critically'
I'm a believer that politicians have the tendency to lie or manipulate the truth for their own gain. That's completely different from lying about everything at all times and every action is intended by design to be for their own gain. Only times trump is honest is when he says he will do bad things.

I’m sorry, examples of Democratic propaganda?

Next time, target the nose!🤙
What an absolute disgrace…

Most media are just too blind to see it.
They are not targeting the opposition with their lies. It’s not a lie, if you believe the lies.
