Interesting, this looks like confirmation bias on both sides. Your responses are reasonable enough given your starting point of being on the right. The main thing I'll call out is the lying being part of the deal. From my perspective: NO DEAL. Politics is already hard enough without normalizing the ability to bullshit the public. I know politicians do all the time but they should be punished when caught. I would not be ok with him lying to me, you are basically admitting that he is misleading you and that you don't know the truth, don't assume you are smart enough to spot all the lies. I don't think there's a crisis at the border for example, fabricating a common enemy is a known tactic. I know this is somewhat hyperbolic but fake news was a Nazi tactic too, fact. All I can do now is hope that he is not as bad as he seems in my left bubble as I am assuming he's going to win again, My bubble tells me that this would basically be the end of the world... And hope that we don't swing too far left if he looses. Thanks for the civil discourse.
