See how many words and how much energy it takes to properly explain the situation thoughtfully? The morons spreading those falsehoods don't need to expend nearly as much time/energy because they're just lying.

It's at the point now that conservatives are willing to accept anything in place of the truth as long as it suits their agenda. Guess they could be called "Not-Sees" given their tendency to embrace blatant lies while ignoring obvious and clear truths.

To quote (likely) John Swift, a lie can be halfway around the world while the truth is still putting on its shoes.
