The reasons politicians lie is because they know people wont vote for them if they tell the truth. When two
candidates are running and one of them tells the truth and the other says
what the public wants to hear, the one who says what the public wants to
hear wins the election.
Whenever an election is near the contest for deception,
misdirection, fact-bending, half-truths, and downright lies, in other
words, the challenge to win the hearts and minds of voters, is in full
swing. Many politicians are
arrogant, self-important, see themselves as special, require excessive
admiration, have a sense of entitlement, and are exploitative. All of
this causes them to believe that
they are right and, even if they are not, they’re too smart to be caught
or suffer the consequences. Politicians
know their followers will believe them, even in the face of irrefutable
evidence to the contrary so whatever they do or say will always let
them stand out and also i must add that there followers will kill you if
you go against their leaders especially during election time. It is
decidedly better for
politicians to tell people what makes them feel comfortable. Why should
politicians be the purveyors of bad news (and decrease the likelihood of
getting people’s votes) when they can tell fairy tales with happy
endings (which, of course, everyone wants) and come out the victor. If
a lie is told enough times, people will assume it is true. It is not a
stretch to understand why people would believe something if they hear it
enough. People expect that lies will be disproved and fade away. So if
the lies continue to be heard, people assume, then they must be true.
Overall Politicians lie because they want power and the politics career
has a lot of benefits, do you realize that many doctors and lawyers in
high paying jobs leave their profession for politics. I know for a fact
that most politicians lie and basically that's the only way they gonna
get votes because most things they promised isn't doable in their short
time in office.
