It's destructive to have a president who lies constantly, flagrantly, flamboyantly. Matters get even worse when leading members of his party and media cheerleaders do the same, endorsing conspiracies and pushing blatant falsehoods in order to protect their political tribe. Before long, the culture of transparent BS permeates everything — even the way private citizens view each other. Witness how often and quickly people on different sides of public debates accuse one another of "bad faith." The charge is ubiquitous online, especially on Twitter, where a testy debate about politics, policy, or culture rarely goes more than a round or two before people start calling out each other's hypocrisy, insincerity, intellectual dishonesty, and intentional deception and dissimulation. This epidemic of imputations of bad faith is partly a function of unusually high levels of partisan polarization in our political culture.
