Not like I disagree, but how would you even go about proving that Trump is a liar and not just a fucking idiot? Like, I fully believe he is a liar, but if a paper wants to call him a liar they’d want proof that he knows what he says is untrue.
Then again, even if they had proof there’s a decent chance they wouldn’t call him a liar, because the need to maintain “civility” is far more important to them than almost anything else. Cut a liberal and all that.
The idea of civility, a mere whiff of an intellectual fart, is in fact more important to them than actual human lives.
This at the end of the day is what I mean when I insult a centrist by calling them a liberal.
It is an utterly hollow worldview built out of all the easy nice things that divides people by providing a corrupted, deeply incomplete vision of a better future and then collapsing it into cynicism, at which point the liberal throws up their hands and becomes a good little conservative (though they still might call describe themselves as on the left for decades).
