Human Nature

[Ivan Denisovich]

That all politicians are flawed, and therefore lie, does not of course make them all equally duplicitous, nor are those lies equally harmful of course. For me this rather trivial truth is less relevant, than what they lie about, and why. 

Of course but when pm of one country blames beavers for the flood or suspends constitutional right to asylum under claim that refugees are part of "hybrid war" then surely one can be concerned (and those are just more striking examples, though I suppose that promising 100 things will be done in 100 days of ruling deserve mention). When politicians made absurd claims about disaster that resulted in loss in milliards of zlotys (circa 3mld Euro) or play with constitution under some idiotic pretext to gain far right support it is more than concerning. For me thanks to living here it is clear as day that Poland politicians lie often and not about inconsequential things (though I guess they lie about small crap too).

Trump is not necessarily a danger because he is prepared to lie, but many of his lies are demonstrably pernicious.

trump is danger because he is fascist even if he is too dumb to realize it.
