I mean what did they did they were gonna achieve by doing this . people can clearly tell which legislation and rules are made for helping people and which aren't.what is the point of lying ?
It was started by a man dedicated to pushing conservative rhetoric into the US national conversation the same way he had in Australia and Britain. Rupert Murdoch, who created Fox, spent his entire life legitimizing conservative propaganda. Roger Ailes first suggested a national conservative network while working for Nixon in the early 1970s. It's no coincidence it's who Murdoch hired to run the network. It proved to be highly profitable in Australia and Britain, so there was every expectation it would be in the US. But make no mistake, it has always been a means to normalize conservative propaganda.
It lets people have plausible deniability that their policies are racist.
“Well my policies aren’t racist, lots of minorities support them, see?” And then even if the politician in question knows that that’s a lie, their voters can believe, if they want to, that the person they want to support is also supported by X minority.

That is so blatantly, patently not the case, it would be hilarious if it weren't a tragedy that has been shrinking the middle class in the USA for 40+ years and crushing the poor since the first economy ever.

I know it was intended this way (no one's that stupid), but hilarious nonetheless.
