      You might be right, but when you don’t care at all about truth, you can say anything you want. Most claims they’re making can be easily fact checked, but they also rely on most people not having the time or the energy to actually read anything in detail.

        Right, but my point isn’t aimed so much at the people doing the lying, it’s at the people they would be lying too. If they have to stretch even further from the known truth, there’ll be fewer people buying into the lie.
