What's the difference between Republicon lying and Trump lying?

[Bernardo de La Paz]

When Republicons lie, they know they are lying.

1. What is the difference between a grizzly shitting in the woods

and a black bear shitting in the woods? Is that a good answer?

3. Heh

There's a philosophical argument that if you don't know you're lying then you aren't lying.

Repeating a falsehood told to you, for example. But once corrected, you accept the correction, and don't repeat the lie again. Even apologize for your part in the lie. Otherwise, you're straight up lying each time you repeat it.

But if you know you don't know the answer/truth and still maintain what you're saying is true, then you are lying.

I think Trump doesn't care that he's lying when he is ignorant of facts.

Mainly because Trump accepts that ignorance as fact. He doesn't bother to find out if something is true or not as long as it makes him feel good.

I also think he knowingly lies when he is cognizant of the facts.

He lies because he enjoys the response to his lies - whether he is telling the lie from ignorance or awareness. The lies make him feel good.

4. I wish I believed that but

I have spent many years with Republican in-laws and it took time to understand where they came from. They always respond with what will make their cause go further...that equals thier truth. It does not have to do with an awareness of lying or not lying, it is pursuing their cause at all costs.
