Consequences are denied from "summary" of It Was All a Lie by Stuart Stevens
The idea that consequences are denied is a central theme in politics. It’s a mindset that allows politicians to act without fear of repercussions, to say or do anything without having to answer for it. It’s a dangerous mentality that has become all too common in today’s political landscape. When consequences are denied, accountability goes out the window. Politicians can lie, cheat, and manipulate without ever having to face the music. They can make promises they never intend to keep, knowing they won’t be held to them. They can incite violence and spread hate, confident that they won’t be held responsible.
This culture of denial has led to a toxic political environment where truth and integrity are in short supply. Instead of being held accountable for their actions, politicians are rewarded for their deceit. The more they lie, the more they are celebrated by their base. The more they evade consequences, the more they are emboldened to push the boundaries even further.
This cycle of denial has far-reaching consequences for our democracy. It erodes trust in our institutions, undermines the rule of law, and threatens the very fabric of our society. When consequences are denied, the truth becomes a casualty, and democracy itself is put at risk.
We must break free from this cycle of denial. We must hold our leaders accountable for their actions and demand honesty and integrity in our political discourse. Only then can we begin to rebuild the trust that has been lost and restore the values that are so vital to our democracy.
