You firmly totally believe your political view is true and all those contra to it aren't? Did you figure that out all by yourself on your own ALL AlONE or were you given a set of marching orders that you gladly embraced? Or do you even know?
Most people don't ... regardless of their political affiliation. Many times the skew is so cleverly woven that it's hard to know that one is being played (lied to).
One needs to start with the foundation that ANYTHING a politician says is a lie. Politicians will always tell people what they want to hear - I’ll do such-and-such for people like you; this way will help people like you; I will fight for people like you, I will make sure your voice is heard. Their goal is to sway the listener to their way of thinking (even if that way isn’t the best). Politicians know that if they deceiver on one or two things they say, most people will assume they’ll deliver on everything.
One also needs to carefully examine what a politician says say through the filter of common sense (a very rare commodity these days). Often, what comes out of the filter isn’t even close to what went in. Pledges, Hope, and assurances go in, but lies, half-truths, and empty promises come out. If a politician claims they will part the seas, common sense says it ain’t going to happen.
