This debate is a prime example of how profoundly we are ill equipped to deal w/the rise of authoritarianism.
Letting blatant lies fly.
Doing nothing to follow up on lies & ignoring questions.
Normal rules don't apply.
We need to think--CLEARLY--about the best ways to clear the air & support truth.
We—they, actually—have had eight years to think about the rise of authoritarianism. If they can’t or won’t take it on here and now, they will never lift a finger. My only question is whether it’s fear, incompetence, or a cold assessment of self interest.
