About the Item
A donkey, symbol of the Democratic Party
Democrats promote themselves as consistently ethical. So, when they inevitably get caught lying, the fault is compounded by their hypocrisy. Had they just never gotten our hopes up in the first place, the fall wouldn’t be so hard.
When we lie to ourselves about who we really are, our lies to others are exponentially more threatening to our stability. What is the harm in acknowledging that lying is natural, that no one is wholly ethical?
