The USA also Claimed there were weapons of mass destruction and killed over 1 million Iraqis.

My guess is a lot of people pine for the level of deceit and incompetence from the George W. Bush era. What's happening now is really quite something else...

it seems underappreciated just how much permanent cultural destruction has been caused by this shift by Republicans to just lying about almost everything almost all the time. sure, politicians have lied about stuff in the past, and massaged the truth and spun, but Trump & Co just get up every day and tell you the sky is made of bananas and water is naturally fluorescent pink.

it would be bad enough untangling that, but something like a third of US adults have just completely checked out of consensus reality and either believe all that or just think the banana-ness of the sky and natural luminosity of water is some sort of debatable value that's been hitherto suppressed by woke muslims transes or something.
