Something fundamental has shifted in American politics, and it should terrify every patriot who still believes truth matters. Politicians aren't just lying anymore – they're doing it brazenly, openly, without even attempting to cover their tracks.
Case in point: Illinois Democrat Senator Dick Durbin recently stood on the Senate floor and displayed what can only be described as a laughably doctored image of immigration agents supposedly pointing a gun at someone's head. The photo was so poorly manipulated that one of the agents in the picture was literally missing his head. Yet Durbin presented it as evidence with a straight face.
This isn't your grandfather's political deception, folks. Politicians used to lie hoping they wouldn't get caught. Now? They simply don't care if you catch them. The strategy has evolved into something far more sinister: throw enough mud on the windshield, and some of it will stick.
The New Democrat Playbook: Lie First, Truth Never
What we're witnessing is the weaponization of information overload. Democrats know that in our hyperconnected world, the initial lie travels around the globe before the truth even puts its boots on. That doctored image Durbin waved around? It's still circulating on social media, fooling Americans who will never see the debunking.
This is deliberate, calculated manipulation of the American people. The Left has figured out that in the age of social media, facts don't matter – only narratives do. They can lie with impunity because they control the megaphones that reach the most people.
"Nothing dies on the internet," as the saying goes. But apparently, neither does Democrat dishonesty.
While President Trump faces endless scrutiny for every word he speaks, Democrats like Durbin can literally use fabricated evidence in official proceedings without consequence. The double standard isn't just obvious – it's insulting to every American who still believes integrity should matter in our representatives.
The question isn't whether Democrats will keep lying – they will. The question is whether We the People will finally hold them accountable for treating us like fools. How much more obvious does their contempt for truth need to become before Americans say enough is enough?
