Trump basically gave the OK for right wing lying
In the Modern “social media”era . Trump brought about the kind of lying we’d never witnessed before from a politician and instead of apologising and resigning ,as was the convention,he doubled down without any shame and his followers backed him .As long as he knocked Johnny Foreigner he was fine.Step forward Boris,having seen this he knew he was free to do or say whatever he liked and his base would back him.They did and look what happened he went mad ,thankfully we British still had a few standards and we forced him out but his backers still want him back.
Now step forward Santos,he’s upped the game and guess what? He’s staying put.
I dread to think what’s coming to Britain with this example across the pondJanuary 1, 2023 at 5:40 pm #251675Santos? Do you mean DeSantis, “woolfie”? 😂😂
January 1, 2023 at 5:44 pm #251676No!,Santos.

Some context about Santos.

Keep up bill FFS, it’s only Jan 1st and your struggling already. Must be a right wing/religious trait. 😂

January 21, 2023 at 3:26 pm #253563You could discuss how Trump lying and his followers being blind to it has given the green light for right wingers to say anything and be backed and how it’s emboldened our Tories
January 21, 2023 at 4:08 pm #253566The thing about Trump is he lied virtually everyday of his time in office, stuff he came out with has been fact checked ad nauseum and backs the lies up but where do you start about it all. He’s continued to lie after he lost the election, this includes him saying the election was stolen which has never been backed up in a courtroom because no serious evidence has been provided ( over 60 claims kicked out of court through no evidence) then there is the January 6th riot where he continues to say people who attacked the Capitol are innocent of anything, the guy is a complete fruit cake yet lying became the norm and is acceptable to a lot of his fanbase. It’s serious shit this because it appears to be justifiably ok to lie and be dishonest when you are a rich powerful figure with ambition to run a country, in this case a very powerful country. We know certain areas of politics are open to corruption but to see it blatantly flaunted in public and deemed ok by a lot of people just saddens me about standards, honesty, integrity and all the things we were told as kids had to be upheld to prevent anarchy and discord. I believe America could be on its way down the shit pan because massive civil unrest and violence is usually the next step when countries start losing their moral compass. The fact we have had five PM’s in seven years, all of the same political party is very worrying to me, even the current one is not proving universally popular. This country is really struggling and there is massive unrest, things could turn nasty here if we aren’t very careful.

January 24, 2023 at 6:27 pm #253779I’m no fan of Trump, in fact I can’t stand the man. The problem is that Biden’s as big a liar as Trump.
As for the UK, just count your blessings. I was in New York before Christmas and much as I love the city and its people — New Yorkers are the friendliest on earth, from top to bottom — things are far, far worse in the States than they are here.
January 24, 2023 at 6:56 pm #253784Trumps fact checked lies whilst in ( and out ) of office are truly massive compared to Biden so that point you made was just completely wrong Buck’s, however you believe what you want after all it’s what Trump does all the time.
