OK? If the lies are qualitatively muted, then it's fine?
I get it! You can send these racist idiots into space on their lawnmowers with subtly rather than bombast. And? That speaks to the town hall audience's REALLY degraded mindset, sure, but by the same token, it's even more insidious. Now we're saying that to REALLY embarrass these suckers, gotta make your **** believable? Like totally audacious fantasies, OK, fine, you agree THAT'S a problem, so we've gotta really temper our deceits to make the point?
AT SOME POINT I think you guys need to dispense with the debate of the quality of the lie, and engage seriously with the idea whether "deceiving people to manipulate them into some end" is a tactic you want to embrace. Even if the end is valid!
