So the lying liar used his equal airtime (and illusion of credibility) to call the other guy a liar, and half the country believes him because he said it like it was truth. Truth don’t matter when you’re a conman. Just slap the appearance of conviction onto hyperbole and they’ll believe it. That’s how conmen work. I’m pretty sure that’s also how they get elected.
We are in for generations of tragedy, corruption, and regression. This country as we know it is, I fear, doomed.
