Sir, this is a Wendys...

Also, why are you ranting about Joe Biden and his thousands of provable lies in a post about a tv show?

Democrats literally set their own cities on fire in 2020, but you blame the GOP for making the live of 99% worse? I fled a city run by 99% Democrats because they were the ones making everyone's lives worse and took my 6-figure taxable salary with me.

Funny how the lunatic left suddenly stopped caring about lies the moment their pedophile-in-chief and his crack head son entered the White House.

Best part is even the New York Times is admitting Trump woke up a lot of Democrats in shithole Democrat run cities. Look up any urban area, click "change from 2016", and you'll see a ton of red shift virtually everywhere. People are rejecting your small-brain propaganda.

No - the point in the TB show is that the perpetual lies by the government led to catastrophe, and this relates directly to the lies told by Trump and his party for many years. Consider for example the claims that COVID19 was a hoax. That injured and killed a substantial portion of the US population. No - the lies did not help anyone.

Not really. You think Trump lying doesn't make every tv show about a liar a documentary on Trump. It's more of a projection of your mind and an indicator of how obsessed you are with Trump, and how blind you are to the lies Democrats tell you.

Biden founded his entire campaign on a lie. He said Trump called Nazis very find people which has been debunked by everyone. Does that make Chernobyl about Biden?

When Covid was first detected and Trump shutdown air travel to China, Biden called Covid a hoax and called Trump a xenophobe and racist. I guess that makes Chernobyl about Biden. Does that mean Biden murdered hundreds of thousands of Americans?

Consider for example the claims that COVID19 was a hoax.

To the extent the media exaggerates it's severity, which is little worse than the flu, it quite literally is. When Covid first broke out, even Democrats were calling it a hoax and encouraging people to go out shopping. Bill deBlassio gave a big press conference in an Asian market to assure everyone that it was safe to go shopping. A month later New York would be almost entirely locked down. Did Bill kill thousands of New Yorkers?

That injured and killed a substantial portion of the US population.

That statement makes no sense. You think Trump lies about everything and believe no one trusts him, but yet you think everyone interpreted his statements about Covid as health advice which they then followed and somehow killed them? Which is it? Is Trump a liar that no one believes? Or does he dispense truthful health advice that everyone follows? You have a severe case of cognitive dissonance.

Second, almost no one has died of Covid. The CDC reports that around 300k people a year died from Covid out of hundreds of millions of cases. That's less than 0.1% of the population. And even that's inflated and misreported because the CDC doesn't follow WHO guidelines and counts anyone who died from any reason as a Covid fatality if Covid anti-bodies are detected in their system. If someone dies in a car accident and it's later found they had Covid, they're counted as a Covid fatality. For example, George Floyd, who was allegedly murdered by a cop last year, was officially a Covid fatality because his body tested positive for Covid. Twice as many people die from heart disease each year, and no one even bats an eye, much less considers that a "significant portion" of the population.

But if you're going to blame Trump for lying and getting people killed, you'll need to start with all the Democrats who encouraged people to go out shopping during the pandemic. That killed far more people than Trump calling an obvious hoax a hoax.

Thank you for this thoughtful response. I think we should be very concerned about lies in right-wing propaganda, for which Trump , MTG, and others are obviously famous. What those lies have done is help spread COVID19, racial division, anti-democracy interests and much more, which has increased income inequality in the US to a critical level. The country is seriously suffering because of the GOP tax breaks and handouts to themselves while the 99% were not helped, nor will the GOP vote on bills (eg. build back better) designed to develop jobs for the 99%. As for COVID-related deaths, it's impossible to deny the millions of them, and indeed these were under-reported in India, Brazil, South Africa, China and elsewhere by a factor of as much as 1 death = 4 or 5 deaths, especially in India, where there were counts at crematoria. Here are some of the basic stats.
