The bs meter works fine, it doesn’t work on those who are far left or right. Those are the people we tend to see mostly which makes it look worse. One thing most of us have us a short term memory! That is the biggest problem I think we have. All the lies that lead to left and right wing riots etc is all part of the game in a free country. You have the right to free speech, even hate speech, even lying if you want. It isn’t illegal to be a bigot. I think that is what makes our country so great. In other places, we follow them and if you talk a way they don’t like, you get killed for it.
I think it’s pretty amazing as I’m writing this that trump's interview on Twitter with tucker has already gotten 211 million views!
