65 million people voted for someone with a life long habit of lying about ostensibly rather important things, and who's rate of lying continues to increase, and continues to hold the attention of millions. Few and far between taken literally applies to one. But few and far between taken in connotation: that they can't meaningfully affect the lives of many others, and therefore they can be ignored as edge cases, is provably wrong.
If you're talking about tinfoil hat nuts, e.g. Alex Jones, sure that's an edge case that doesn't matter and we really can't do anything about it anyway, whether you categorize them as liars (which they are) or bias (which they have). Bias does not imply malice, where lying generally implies either deception or malice or both.
