To elaborate a bit more
words have to have meaning in order for society to function.
for example when a poster says Democrats support “infanticide” When called out on that falsehood, its one thing to say “dont be such a stickler” I was exagerating/using hyperbole to make a point, of course it isnt true. Fine I m ok with that reasonable people can disagree on what falls in to acceptable hyperbole.
but when he doubles down and insists on the lie being true, THAT is the problem . not everybody is able to discern the difference .
Trumps’ entire persona is built on telling people what they want to hear. As his writer quotes him in The art of the deal “Truthful hyperbole”
