Lying is an epidemic even worse than COVID. Our president and his press secretaries seem to lie with every word they say and deny facts that anyone with a pair of eyes can see for himself.
What if Trump is telling the truth, the people he supports/worships are lying to him "Bigly," and the president who is deceived is Biden? Stonebridge has bought the lie that Trump is a self-serving maniac, capable of doing anything.
Note the use of fear - COVID, global warming, the "Far Right" - and the word "Safe." "We will keep you safe." Another liberal, Brian Stelter, also bought the lies about Trump, and wrote in November of last year, First, the lies aren't really about the lies.
Here is just a sample of commonly promoted lies starting in 2020.
Masks will keep us safe from COVID.
COVID vaccines are safe and effective.
Oil and natural gas are going to destroy the planet.
Electric cars are going to save the environment.
Our justice system is fair for all.
Hunter Biden’s laptop was Russian disinformation.
Trump stole classified documents.
Boys should compete in girls’ sports.
Search engines give honest results.
Protecting Ukraine’s borders is in the interest of the United States.
Our borders are safe and secure.
Israel is guilty of war crimes.
The 2020 Election was the safest and most secure in history.
Lyndsey Stonebridge’s fascinating article in Time from February of this year cited Hannah Arendt, a German-American historian and philosopher who died in 1975. She lived through the persecution of the Jews starting in the 1930s and often discussed “the big lie.”
As Anne Applebaum, the Pulitzer Prize-winning historian, has observed, "Sometimes the point isn't to make people believe a lie - it's to make people fear the liar." It's to assert power over reality.
Neuroscientists have studied how peoples' brains react when they lie over and over again for personal gain.
"We'll throw you in jail for any reason we choose." "We control your news." What are the current lies? Joe Biden is running for president in 2024.
The shameless lies of the 2020s are designed to shift your focus to anything but the fact that our elections are rigged from the top down.
