The Existential Lies They Asked Us to Believe.
Victor Davis Hanson
There is a narrative that half the country is paranoid, prone to conspiracy theories, and generally nuts, in the off-the-grid, January 6th sense.
But in some sense why not, given the lies that have been promulgated?
Here I do not mean the usual political serious and even life-changing untruths such as gas was more expensive when Joe Biden entered office than it was after his inauguration, or that Afghanistan was a great success, or that Ukraine was/is on the verge of a great victory over Russia, or that “five” people died violently due to the MAGA crowd violence on January 6, or that the nonexistent border is “secure.” I mean even more explicit, shameless lies that transcend politics and change the popular culture.
