Something fundamental has changed about lying in American politics, and it should terrify every patriot who still believes truth matters in our republic.
Politicians used to lie with the hope - maybe even the fear - that they'd get away with it. There was still some shame involved, some recognition that getting caught meant consequences. Not anymore.
Today's Democrats have embraced a far more sinister strategy: they lie boldly, knowing they'll get caught, because they've discovered something chilling about human psychology. If you throw enough mud on the windshield, some of it will stick - and eventually, people stop trying to see clearly through the mess.
Case in point: Illinois Democrat Senator Dick Durbin's shameless use of a doctored image on the Senate floor showing immigration agents allegedly pointing a gun at someone's head. The fake was so poorly constructed that one of the agents in the photo was literally missing his head. Yet Durbin presented it as evidence anyway, and that lie is now circulating across social media as if it were real.
The New Rules of Democrat Deception
This isn't incompetence - it's strategy. Democrats have learned that in our hyperconnected world, the initial lie travels faster than any correction. By the time fact-checkers debunk their claims, millions of Americans have already absorbed the false narrative.
"Nothing dies on the internet," as the saying goes, and Democrats are weaponizing that reality against the American people. They're not trying to fool us - they're trying to exhaust us. When lies come so fast and so frequently that citizens can't keep up, many simply tune out of politics altogether.
That's exactly what the left wants: a demoralized, disengaged citizenry that gives up on holding their representatives accountable.
Fighting Back Against the Lie Machine
This is why President Trump's victory was so crucial, and why his administration's commitment to transparency matters more than ever. While Democrats peddle obvious fabrications, Trump continues calling out their deceptions in real time.
But ultimately, it's up to us. Every time we share a story, we have a choice: contribute to the chaos, or demand better. Patriots must be more vigilant than ever about verifying information before spreading it - because that's exactly what separates us from the left's propaganda machine.
The question facing America is simple: Will we let them bury truth under an avalanche of lies, or will we fight harder to expose their deceptions? Our republic's survival may depend on the answer.
