Most people accept that politicians lie. Saying that a politician lies is like saying "The Pope is Catholic" or "Water is wet".

What people care about is whether the politicians will instigate policies that are beneficial to them.

Bolsonaro ran with one of his main issues being law and order. In Brazil the crime rates are quite shocking (IIRC the murder rate is huge like 100s a day). It doesn't matter if he lies about the Rainforest if people see if cleaning up the streets.

Lying is now blatant, endemic and unapologetic. It's really more propaganda than just lying. Let's hope the sane people will tax these politicians otherwise we risk new Nazi systems.
