“If you tell a lie big enough, and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. "There is no need for propaganda to be rich in intellectual content." "The rank and file are usually much more primitive than we imagine. Propaganda must therefore always be essentially simple and repetitious." "It would not be impossible to prove with sufficient repetition and a psychological understanding of the people concerned, that a square is in fact a circle." "The masses need something that will give them a thrill of horror. Propaganda must facilitate the displacement of aggression by specifying the targets for hatred." "This is the secret of propaganda: Those who are to be persuaded by it, should be completely immersed in the ideas of the propaganda, without ever noticing that they are being immersed in it." "We shall reach our goal, when we have the power to laugh as we destroy, as we smash, whatever was sacred to us as tradition, as education, and as human affection." --Joseph Goebbels Trump and Republicans have learned despicable, yet valuable lessons from Goebbels.

The only reason Trump won in 2016 was because millions of Americans didn't vote. The voter turnout in 2016 was only 54%. Voter turnout in 2020 was exceptionally high at 66.8%. If voter turnout had been 66% in 2016, Trump would have lost. And this is why Republicans are engaging in voter suppression. DJT openly admitted on fox that making it easier to vote in America would hurt the Republican party. Republicans aren't trying to stop mass voter fraud, because it doesn't exist. The are trying to stop mass voting. DJT: “The things they had in there were krazy. They had things, levels of voting that if you’d ever agreed to it, you’d never have a Republican elected in this country again,” Trump said during an appearance on Fox. “I don’t want everybody to vote,” Paul Weyrich, an influential conservative activist, said in 1980. “As a matter of fact, our leverage in the elections quite candidly goes up as the voting populace goes down.”

@davidv872 There are some politicians who will say anything to get elected or reelected. It doesn’t matter if they are Democrats. Or Republicans. Some of them are going to lie. Maybe a majority of them are going to fib. But to even suggest that anything Democrats have done over the years — or even to suggest that what other Republicans have done over the years — is on par with what Trump has normalized since he was sworn in is simply laughable. Richard Nixon, the Republican president who was run out of office for covering up the Watergate break-in, was not as dishonest as Trump. Not even close. Nixon’s arc bends closer to “Honest Abe” Lincoln than it does to a serial liar like Trump. Trump’s arc bends more toward James Tate, the Kentucky state treasurer who fled the state in 1888 with two tobacco sacks full of taxpayers’ gold and silver. You'd trust Charles Ponzi or Bernie Madoff before you'd trust Trump. Trump was given the “Lie of the Year” award in both 2015 and 2017. The first award was not for a single lie, but was for the sheer volume of lies Trump told. PolitiFact said that 76 percent of Trump’s statements that it checked that year were “mostly false,” “false” or “pants on fire.” Many politicians make false and misleading statements when they are trapped or cornered or don’t have a better answer. Trump on the other hand, lies when he doesn’t have to. He lies when the truth is a better answer. Trump’s first instinct is to lie.

@Liberty over everything It was secure, and Russia did help him win with their hacking of the DNC, and their disinformation campaign in America. Both are true.

@armandhammer2235 It didn't expose anything. No one was charged with a crime.

@armandhammer2235 Mueller charged and convicted more than 12 people, without the Steele Dossier. 🤣
