“The left is all about lies and manipulation. “
Why not? Their LIAR in chief is a master at it.
Exactly. The only way the left wins these “debates” is playing on peoples emotions. They can’t do that with facts, so they must lie.
There’s no reason to believe that liberalism/leftism would be based on anything else.
Liberalism is the political expression of the religion of Humanism, which had its origins in the lie “you will be as gods”, from the father of lies himself.
