    It’s not, and even giving it the possibility of truth without any meaningful evidence is playing into the lie.

      They don’t care what the truth is. They yell “fake news” when something doesn’t go their way.

      Fake is real. Real is fake.

      This just shows they have nothing real to go on.

        You’re right in general, but I feel like you’re arguing that it doesn’t matter if we say things to the effect of “it doesn’t matter if Kamala slept her way to the top, the Republicans did worse.” That’s a dangerous thing to do, because there is no credible evidence whatsoever that Kamala used sexual favors to advance her station and under the premise of “both things can be true”, you end up allowing for more people to believe a lie.

          I completely understand why we should shoot lies down and we should.

          I was mostly talking about the MAGA crowd. They are uneducated, illogical, and crazed. Their minds won’t change. I just don’t want people to get their hopes up of changing these people’s minds.
