I’m fairly confident in saying all people want truth all the time.

I wasn’t addressing that at all - I’m saying it’s even more important to be double checking and fact checking during election season because that’s when we’ve seen foreign adversaries try and push fake news and other bs to muddy waters, fool and bend some populace, trick and misinform others as a sort of “backdoor” for future wins, etc.

Not because truth is more valuable during election season, but because lies are more common.
