If you have to tell deliberate lies to influence people then that isn’t democracy. That’s fascism or at least a kakistocracy - the worst and stupidest rule because they can’t get elected otherwise. Fuck twisting the First Amendment into a tool of lies and corruption.

I propose for every lie someone tells, we (we’ll vote on who) gets to punch them in the face.
There are so many flags right now it’s just a sea of red undulations. Done by design, so that we don’t notice the death of democracy.
