It not only results in creating ignorance but also disrupts unity and harmony in the society and thus creates instability in state. I have considered numerous examples of the use of lies in politics and concluded that they are both a cause and an effect of corruption.

In addition the structural flaws of like no education, no information and restricted media freedom make the situation worse. Remember, an ignorant voter is an easy target, so politicians act to lie or bring prejudice against a particular minority so the people don’t notice their incompetence.

Deception, sensationalization, and deceit are some of the deceitful political maneuvers that politicians apply to cling on to the people’s power. This is a phenomenon that was developed from their historical, economic and the social set up

we don’t know about you but we know that we feel very offended when a white man especially the famous ones on this platform think it’s okay to put images up of KKK members with white hood and all just to make a political statement.

We don’t need their networks of lies. We aren’t so easily persuaded into their lies like most are. That is how division is formed.

The No Kings movement stands against the glorification of authoritarian displays and the erosion of democratic values. We believe that power resides with the people, not with a singular authority.
