Way easier to use on a party that believe in lies as a political tool , dealing with the stupid vote. Something that is rarely used by the left, They seem to have a higher opinion of their voters. The right decided to take in the hateful and the stupid because their votes counted the same as anyone else. Literally, these people would rather hear a lie.
It is by far the easiest group to control, every dictator since the beginning of time has used this approach. By the way, yes, I've dumped left wing sources because of this approach. Think about this, your God and leader used the lie even when he didn't have to, even when the truth was good enough, he still lied, over 30,000 times in four years,
