It’s actually quite very complicated to see through lies.

An example that some people could relate with:

Have a close relative whose social media account started receiving “go out and vote” electoral ads from friends and acquaintances during election season. And those ads hit exactly the right notes that pulled them in. By the end of it, the candidate turned out to be an extremist who planned to do a lot of bad shit that could incidentally achieve those electoral promises. They were exposed early and had to drop out, but my relative was left disappointed and without the will to continue fighting because this one candidate was the only one who even touched what they cared about.

Without proper representation, the first one in gets the vote. Doesn’t matter if they’re lies when a chance is better than no chance.
