"Especially if those responsible for starting the charade were never held accountable. "

This is the key. Trump lied the entire time he was in office, but it seems a president is never held accountable, once he figured that out, he keeps repeating the same lies, but constantly adding new one. Who can keep? Then the Republican auto repeaters, Fox News and conservative talk radio, pick up the chant, it reverberates through the nation. If that's how you get your news, you will never hear a dissenting voice. The social media algorithms will feed you the same shit you always click on. You have to independently seek out alternatives or social media will keep you in the dark feeding you the same shit day after day.
