My dad was a paratrooper and had great respect for President Eisenhower. I was 12 and noticed my mom and dad having a very serious conversation and I heard him say "well I just don't think the president would tell a lie". it was 1960 and we were denying the facts concerning the U-2. then in '74 I was traveling to California and we stopped in the middle of Arizona 'cause we'd found a spot where we had radio reception ...sat there about an hour waiting to hear Nixon address Watergate...and my partner and I determined that the president wouldn't just outright lie. JFK and Clinton certainly wouldn't win any accolades for veracity.
And still we bend over backwards and accept the most egregious BS from people who show us over and over, that they are not to be trusted. I guess that's why they say you get the government you deserve
