It takes on average eight to ten years for policy like this: “prohibiting lying in public, to the public, in matters public” to work it’s way through the institutions and culture whether political, economic, or normative. It will work. It’s just an extension of commercial constraints on advertising to political constraints on propaganda.

And your opinion is rational given your knowledge, but I (we) specialize in this subject, and unfortunately, in the vast science of lying, so it’s far easier than you’d think once you understand it. It’s understanding it in the first place given the history of thought on ‘truth’ that’s been the problem.

(Sarcasm: Look what’s been done with ‘pronouns’ without legal enforcement. 😉 )
