People who are in politics are some of the worst. When I read things on this forum, like claiming to use Facebook when a person has not, I know that even people who hate lying, lie.
Even amazing, strong moral people tell a lie now and then.
We all fathom the labyrinth of incorrect data in this world by a myriad of ways. Men discount a woman's intuitiveness. Women discount a man's "gut feeling". Hard scientific data is discounted and conspiracy theories spun and some believe them and some do not. The more areas of a person's brain are used the more they are good at discounting fairy stories. Reading and interacting on social media can be a very good thing. Most people can smell a rat but if rat's are who you run with, you might get used to the odor.
People will believe and absorb what they want to believe and absorb.

I think that recruiting young people in a morals based group, and then
paying them to go on line and
deliberately tell lies and spread rumors or false conspiracy theories is wrong.
You obviously think it is fine, or are trying to change the subject of the thread or distort what I have been saying.
