I watched Trump’s immigration speech.
Boy, did he reel off a lot of provably false statements about immigrants, crime, and President Obama.
I had heard Rudolph Giuliani telling people the proof that Hillary is hiding an illness is easy to find by looking it up on the internet.
Of course, I also have seen that meme where we are advised by Abe Lincoln not to believe everything we read on it.
I have heard other politicians reel off statistics and make claims about people they do not like whether it is because of race, religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, or disability, and it all has one thing in common.
They simply say what will fire up their base even if it is simply something they make up because they know that their base will not only just accept it, but will tell anyone who says otherwise that they are wrong even as they refuse to look up the facts.
