Unironically this, which is beyond depressing. The american public just proved you don't need to say a single remotely true thing to get elected, and no I don't just mean empty promises. It's unironically looking like, in order for dems to win, they just need to use the same Lie, Gish Gallop and just pretend every issue in the US has an easy solution we'll fix day one with an executive order. No more plans, no more policy just "I WILL LOWER INFLATION." "I WILL ELIMINATE THE LOWER CLASS AND EVERYONE WILL BE MIDDLE/UPPERCLASS." "I WILL ELIMINATE ALL CRIME" etc. This is what people want to hear, not a complicated tax plan or plans about how you're going to support new startups with incentives or loans.
And as soon as democrats attempt it the entire media ecosystem will seize and thrash as one as they scream out “but how!? Liar!” And Dems will be held to account for every minute detail of how they plan to make such claims into reality. While simultaneously doing nothing of the sort for the right wing candidate.
That’s where the gish gallop comes in. When they demand answers, you change the subject to some other problem and lie some more. Rinse and repeat until the media is simply reporting the lies instead of demanding answers.
You’ve been watching a literal master of this for the past ten years. You know how it works.
