Congresspeople vote, and they vote on a lot of things! Sometimes they vote for things, and don’t want you to know it... an example is Congress voted back in the early 2000’s to abdicate Congresses role in declaring war! They gave that power solely to the President!
Well, that President declared two wars, that turned out to be wildly unpopular!
So, Congress started acting like the President shouldn’t have done that and that he was terrible for doing that, but the truth is that he couldn’t have done that, without them voting to give him that power, which THEY HAD DONE!
So, guess what? Your Congress person will lie to you about what they voted on... they wouldn’t say, “I didn’t vote for that!”, they will say, “No one should vote for a bill like that!” Which will make you THINK they didn’t vote that way, when they did! Or they will say something else, which makes you think they didn’t without actually lying to your face... but I still call it lying because that is the intent! The intent is for them to get you to think something that isn’t true.
It’s called Rhetoric and it is what Socrates was teaching the young men of Greece... so he had to die.
