The truth is simple, straight forward and takes a lot less effort since you never have to defend it much. With lies, you keep having to tell new lies to prop up the old lies and eventually the whole stinking pile of shit falls apart. And it doesn't matter how smart you are or think you are for it all to come tumbling down on your head.

Fucker Carlson, his audience, the Republican Party and the American reich long for a time when they can be assholes with impunity again. That's the heart of their politics and they lie to make it so.
