It doesn't matter if it is true, when it isn't really benefitting your average person in any meaningful way
> "I'll make the economy the best ever" is a good lie even though it's false?
You have to understand that the lie Trump is telling isn't "I'll make the economy better", it is "I am going to make it so you, a person, has more money and can afford things you want to buy"
Average People don't care about "the economy" they care about their bank accounts and their ability to buy and own things they want to buy
Trump makes empty promises that he will make people's actual lives better in ways that matter to them
The Democrats make empty promises that they will make "society" better, whatever that means.

- bluefirebrand 1y agoWe sure do! But I don't really believe that many of the problems in society can be improved by the government from the top down Some can, like access to healthcare and regulations and such But most problems in society today imo are caused by trying to offload social responsibility to the government and corporations rather than people living in their communities
