Lying is a tool.
In the case of #katiebritt
She embellished / lied badly. And got caught, badly.

Our (our meaning us, meaning based in reality, not free-based IN a reality) dedication to truth does not yet have Pretorian Guards at the onramps of the information superhighway. Those are called… regulations.

Once the lie is detected, our reaction by then, typically, is too late. Below average, non-critical-thinkers are used callously by the propagandists to spread the lie.

Since the tfg-45 lied w every breath, and his cult grew, it was obvious to employ the tactic by all wanting an authoritarian fascist (like #Orban ) in the Oval.

Luck and hope to us all these next 7+ months wading through propagandist lies with no one but ourselves to regularly realign with reality. For those that care even more deeply, I see you. You are not alone.
