There is no credible defense of it.
I believe both extremes are squeezing the middle in hopes of a one party system of government. Lies are more and more acceptable in the hopes of accomplishing that. No matter which side you take, it is an affront to democracy and should be punished severely.
The founding fathers themselves would have rebelled forcibly because there is no respectable of justifiable "side".
It is criminal in intent, and exceedingly sinful by nature. And from my perspective, no Christian can possibly accept it as less. And that's not me talking, it is all too clear to those whom God enlightens who fathers such lies. Lies with an intent and a purpose.
What is not so clear is to what extent those lies have been accepted by a willful turning away from truth.
The secular danger on the other hand is that it follows a historic pattern of facism
One that even the best and most educated of society were quick to dismiss in the midst of propagandized fear and mistrust.
And done so with what seemed then, good intentions.
(and I know the same can be said of communism when applicable.. It is not applicable here)
