"If you tell a lie big enough and tell it frequently enough, people will eventually come to believe it". What is an example of this happening today? - eviltoast

I would really rather that these were actual examples, and not conspiracy theories. We all have our own unsubstantiated ideas about what shadowy no-gooders are doing, but I’d rather hear about things that are actually happening.

    We should be so lucky that a fascist police state could be overthrown by 200 disorganized unarmed people walking into the capitol.

    It wasn’t just 200 disorganised unarmed people, it was 200 partially-organised partially-armed people with explicit support from the sitting president trying to disturb the proceedings, so the president could carry out his plan to use “alternate electors”.

    Why do people like you always act like the republicans weren’t hoping to capitalise on what happened?
