As I have said before, unlike political junkies such as myself, the vast majority of Americans don't pay attention to politics until a couple of months before the election. The latest Supreme Court ruling doesn't play in Peoria since understanding it would require more effort than most people are willing to expend. A sizable minority probably can't name their congressional representatives.
A political economy such as this is ripe for a congenital liar to exploit. tRump lies as naturally as breathing and most of us allow the lies to slide, creating a slippery slope to believability. This is especially pernicious with the "I'm rubber, you're glue" type of argument at which he excels. He has managed to convince a fair number of people that Biden is an abortion opponent moments after bragging he is responsible for the demise of Roe vs. Wade.
It is going to be a long eight months to the 2024 elections. We are in for a tsunami of lies and misleading statements from Republicans in general and tRump in particular. Keep your BS detectors on.
