Being so gullible as to have my leaders lie to me about climate change, blaming frozen oil and gas equipment on renewable energy, especially when the people with windmills and solar have energy. If I got an inkling of the truth I would be more than disappointed. This is only one subject that they lie about

All over social media, esp. facebook. All over Fox tv, all over Newsmax, OAN which has news clips. Fox plays on tv 24/7 all thru the country in a lot of homes, businesses, and even hospitals and waiting rooms.A lot of functionally illiterate people get their news only from Fox.
The Freedom Caucus Republicans lie as a matter of course, huge whoppers.
Cruz, gaetz, Jordan, etc and hundreds of state level politicians do it all the time.
If they are not stopped, the truth will die. And now they are doubling down.

What is the cost of lies?.
It's not that we'll mistake them for the truth.
The real danger is if we hear enough lies,
we will no longer recognize the truth at all.
