It’s called “bare-faced lying.” It’s the only reason right-wingers can get elected. If Wonder Woman had to tie up every politician with her golden lariat before they were allowed to say anything on TV, we’d be facing the choice between those few progressives yet uncorrupted by the system and teabaggers who actually believe the horseshit they’re trained to parrot. All others would be eliminated.

After a fair amount of disillusionment, we’d get a pretty cool government intent on changing things for the better.

Which would make the fat cat corporations very nervous. But since superheroes are involved, we can just send Deadpool over to put a horse’s head in someone’s dishwasher.
