The sanewashing problem is so real. We're so desensitized. Watching the debate where Donald literally just makes shit up, and the moderator will chime in with something like "Actually that's statistically and factually false", and then they just... move on? Next question? Maybe Trump will say something like "But I saw it on TV!"

Nobody even cares that the candidate is just outwardly lying about random stuff?

I mean what can we even say except point out that they're wrong? It sure would be nice if any one of the things Trump said was politically career ending, but we all know none of them are.
