From a friend, Stewart Dean, who gave me permission to share this here:

❝A friend sent me a WaPo editorial

https://wapo.st/3XXARK3

...which asserts that Trump isn't so much lying as BSing us. I responded:

BS and word salad. Yes, and your point is?

Because it really doesn't matter, any more than when you're killed by 1st, 2nd, 3rd degree murder or involuntary manslaughter, you're still dead.

And my feeling 🙂🙁 is that WaPo, the NYT and all the others played a big part in this train wreck by studiously observing and explaining our way down the drain....as if explaining everything, reporting everything instead of relentlessly calling out the rape in progress was OK. Even now, when the disaster is all around us, the WaPo fires Ann Telnaes, refuses ads criticizing Trump...the conversion is complete.

The real purpose of Trump’s lies

Trump's style of lying has the power to shape group identities in an increasingly polarized world.
