Unfortunately a lot of people would rather believe a lie than hearing someone tell the truth. Usually because the truth conflicts with their beliefs and that 'collision' hurts. Because living a lie is more comfortable, people like the jewish actor Mandy Patinkin don't reach a large enough audience. Which is a shame because life would be better for everyone, except for a handful of powerful rich people. If the people only listened...
Science fiction series The Orville had an episode about it:
Authoritarian figures tend to lie more often than leaders who know the meaning of empathy. In short: the right lies more than the left.
Why does the right lie so much about really important stuff?
Sure, the left lies too. But those are lies like: "Nah, you don't look fat in that dress at all, my darling", "Hard work pays off" and "No, my busted knee doesn't hurt at all so let's play catch, son!"
