Oh what a tangled web we weave...

One little lie led to another until it had grown too big to control.

What harm can it do if a lot of people believe it?

If you are a Senator thinking of running for President, it could help you with your base.

If you are a right-wing media operation, it could help you with your ratings and your advertisers.

If you were the President, it could help you get re-elected.

What harm could it do?

Especially if they were all working in tandem?

How were they supposed to know they were feeding a monster?

They saw no harm in deceiving people with their lies.

If they obtain money and power, then the deaths of Americans and America is just collateral damage.
