“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”
By now we’re long past asking “Why?”
The Republicans don’t even try
To pretend the Truth matters.
They want America in shatters
And to achieve it they use “The Big Lie.”
