Political lies, like the disproven assertion that there was any significant ballot fraud in the 2020 election, are not harmless. Every one of us who believes in civil society must fight them with truth. That is the way to preserve a free and peaceful society.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has starkly shown us that big lies lead to the opposite.
Look back to the start of Putin’s barbarous invasion of Ukraine. Even though Ukraine’s heroic president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, is Jewish, Putin justified the attack as a “military operation” to “de-nazify” a neighboring country.
