Truth is the first casualty of war, and that is why these individuals declared a Bogus Culture War, so they could lie and propagandize with impunity, appealing to fear, ignorance, and xenophobia, for their own political and financial gain. They needed a pretext in order to violate long-standing political norms and traditions of bipartisanship, civility, inclusiveness, compromise, country over party, and respect for truth, evidence, and reasoning, so that they might gain political advantage by using lies, propaganda, and divisiveness as a political weapon against their fellow Americans.
