ITS JUST POLITICS

Logic and lies. Our citizens are by and large decent people who are logical folks. Being such, they reason that politicians would not want to get caught lying to them. So, when some politicians tell them lies, the citizens dismiss the lies by using logic about the fear of being caught lying. These citizens, you see, are suffering from a degree of naiveté. In some political circles, the remedy for not getting caught lying is to lie bigger and more often. This helps seal the logic error.
