Facts and logic matter not to the DPST's.
All one hears of them are obscenities, name-calling, scatology and hostility to anything remotely resembling Factual Truth.

in broad historical contexts its been proven to be so. take the leftists in the old soviet union or in china today, yes we might conceal things from ourselves but they lie about things great and small
do I detect trump lying , well yes at times
at other times he exaggerates or gets carried away and his opposition calls everything, including differences of opinion, his lies.
now, I happen to think that there are grades of lies, maybe not theologically speaking, but in earthly interactions I think it to be so
and trumps lies are more of the effusive exaggerations type, ones that support him in a personal way
while American leftist lies are more consequential and are designed to conceal their true nature and intention in furtherance of goals they cant admit just yet
and are much more consequential
and if a conservative supports trump, does trump saying a provable incorrect thing prove wrong a conservatives basic fealty to truth, no. it merely is more a reflection of the worthlessness of the alternative
do conservatives tend to not lie in great matters? I think so
would conservatives frame people to keep power, no I don't think so
do conservatives have a basic fealty to truth and leftists not so much? I think so
is right or wrong or truth more set in a conservative's soul as opposed to the nebulous subjections taught American youth by leftist professors, yeah
