Exactly, the only way they can get you to do/vote for things that go directly against your best interest it to fool you. So the lies have to be big and anything counter to that must not be allowed or the mask falls away and you see it for what it is.

And this is not just a USA thing. This same exact stuff is playing out in all of the west.
