"The Big Lie" is a propaganda technique used by totalitarian regimes all over the world. It was a fundamental aspect of fascist power in Nazi Germany. It is also an important tool for American fascists.
The insurrection was put down mere hours ago and these bastards have already settled on a narrative that absolves them of responsibility -- and then every one of your right-wing relatives and friends will be reciting as gospel truth in the next 48 hours. Note what's happening here: A mob stormed the Capitol based on a series of lies, and Hume, Palin, Paxton, and others are responding with more lies.
But I give them credit. If they're confronted with a mass shooting that resulted from their gun laws, they'll instantly blame mental health professionals or the lack of prayer in schools or the fact that there wasn't a "good man with a gun." Give them a financial crash on their watch, like the one in '08, and they blame it on mortgage programs supported by Democrats that had nothing to do with the problem. They can always divert blame. They can always rewrite the narrative.
They're fast and ruthless, and all they care about is their own survival. And it always works. They're never held accountable.
If you just keep telling lies, people never have to face reality.
