How to spot a liar Pamela Meyer

The key point is that lying is a cooperative act; It's power emerges when else agrees to believe the lie.

Lies only work when people want to accept the lies.

She really went all in with Dems and not Republicans. Also, what was Obama lying about with his fingers twitching?

Dems and Repugs?

It's about liars and how to detect them.

Do you think party affiliation somehow vaccinates against lying?

And do check the date of the video; it predates Trumpism which breaks all norms regarding nuclear gaslighting.

Cheney’s sneer was shown, but only to illustrate when you’ve lost the other person (due to disgust).

Btw, I find your reply to me to be very condescending. Obviously I know what the video is about, and I definitely picked up on what I considered to be an imbalance of illusion.
