I've spent the last 5 years being told by people that all of this is "normal". That "all politicians say these things". That "even Obama did X, Y, Z" even when X, Y, Z are completely different. Unfortunately, even the left-wing opposition often concedes these arguments or even agrees out of their own political self interest.
The concerning thing is one of the biggest divides is amongst the people that pay attention, and have paid attention, and everyone else that either can't or refuses to.
