The bad side of first amendment freedom.

So how is it, with more video of the Trump Insurrection on January 6, 2021, that the false narratives coming from Trump about what happened that day are "gaining traction"? What does that say about the value that many Americans place on truth, and integrity?
I'm going to say this here, because it needs to be said. Those who are Trump followers do not value truth and integrity, because Trump does not value truth and integrity.
And there's the bad side of the first amendment. Freedom of conscience means that even a conscience that lies, or that believes lies, and is intentionally deceitful, is protected under the Constitution of the United States.
It takes a deliberate choice to be blind to January 6th. Too many people were there, saw it, experienced it, lived in fear of their lives during it, to deny that it happened, and there are too many facts, openly stated by the more than a thousand individuals currently tried and convicted for participating in it, to put the blame anywhere else but on Trump. So the only way that the false narrative surrounding January 6th, whether it's the belief that it was just a protest, or that it was peaceful, could gain any traction is for multiple individuals to be willing to surrender their own integrity and intentionally lie about what happened.
So are lack of integrity, dishonesty and lying the new values of Evangelicals, the GOP and Trump supporters?
