It’s pretty great judo. The hard right spews neverending bullshit as a weapon to erode the concept of truth and it’s ineffective to try to debunk or fact-check that noise. Ridicule lands well against fascism though.

Every court has standards and procedures for establishing legitimate admissible evidence and verifying it to the satisfaction of a jury. We already have plenty of law about lying under oath, perjury.
