Oftentimes, it even does the opposite of what the given description says.
For example, there was a solar law on the ballot in Florida in 2016 that was written by oil and gas companies, that basically would have created a charge just for having solar panels. The new cost was to simply subsidize energy companies losing revenue from people moving to solar.
Predictably, the bill was sold pretty heavily as a pro-solar bill meant to make solar more competitive. Much in the same way anti-NN is often sold as a method of making it easier for smaller ISPs to compete with the giga-ISPs.
The word "wytai" from the Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows comes to mind when I think about how much of the US political process is based almost entirely on deception and tricking people into voting your way.
