When trying to persuade, it's fair game to present a one-sided argument based upon factual information.
But when did it become OK to lie? Or to just make stuff up? Or to refute mountains of scientific evidence with an ill-informed argument?

Americans deserve the truth and need to start calling out anyone who deliberately lies or misleads. Our democracy and freedom depend on it.
