It’s not naive, it’s a lie meant to change the conversation and distort the opinions of people who don’t know better.
If the person representing the government says it, it must be true, right?
They aren’t saying that for people who know better. They don’t care about people who know better. They are saying it for people who don’t. Those are their supporters. Those are the people who can be made into supporters.
