“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 his co-conspirators have learned despicable, yet valuable lessons from Goebbels.
Wait for it. Some Republican like DeSantis will try to pass a bill banning critical thinking curriculum in schools and IDing misinformation classes like this one.
