The GOP continues to use Hitler's BIG LIE theory

[independentusa]

Hitler used the big lie theory to take over Germany and take them to war. My interpretation of the theory is to tell not a small lie, but a very big one and even if it is proved false, keep telling it because those who want or need to believe will do so. Now we have the big lie of Trump won the election by a huge amount and is not president because of fraud and the rigging of the election. Although this has proven wrong in multiple ways, the GOP continues to spout it and has used it to pass voter suppression laws in states it controls. Then we have the CRT is being taught to our school children, which is false, but the GOP continues to spout the lie and has used it to pas laws that out law the teaching about slavery and racism with laws that say do not make our children feel bad about themselves. The latest big lie is that certain books being taught or available in our schools and libraries teach our children to be gay. Of course it is a lies but the GOP is using this lie to ban books in schools and libraries where they control the government or the school boards. So the GOP is continually using the big lie to engage and encourage their people to get to the polls and vote and they will. Just remember, the same thing happened in Germany in the 1930's.

A platoon of Straw Men are readied for battle.

Watch how when one burns to the ground, another is constructed.

Something different between the 1930's and now is the modern technology for messaging the Nazis couldn't have dreamed of - 24x7 cable, talk radio, 24x7 social media. It's clear that there is a big industry of propagandists turning a third of Americans into zombie-like supporters of the right-wing with these tools they can convince of just about anything it appears. Sandy Hook was faked! Qanon! Pedophiles! Just ask Alex Jones followers.

No need to godwin this thread - the OP did it already.

Maybe both sides should be less economical with the truth.

If some Republicans are lying when they say the 2020 election was rigged, then some Dems are also lying when they say that violent crime is due to poverty.

Both sides are using the "Big Lie."

Hopefully, on the 2024 Presidential ballot, we will not have the names of Biden or Harris or Trump.

We are fully aware of your tactics, but thanks for coming clean anyway.

No.

Now that was really stupid and it says nothing about what I wrote in the OP. Maybe that is because what I wrote is true and you really have nothing to say as a counter argument.

Have we ever had a president that in just four years told over 20,000 lies and now continues to tell the big lie about the election? Can you name one please?

Ah, so I am right, no good argument. Pitiful for sure.

You have no idea what a strawman is, do you?

The metaphorical strawman, in strawman fallacy, is what you fight (argue) against. Not fight with.
