"The notion that Canada is not real is an example of the complaisant lies that imperialists tell themselves before beginning doomed wars of aggression. The specific association of Canada with fentanyl is a big lie that allows Americans to shift responsibility away to a chosen enemy and enter a world of geopolitical fantasy."
As Timothy Snyder notes,
"When Trump announces an aggressive policy, he attaches to it a grotesque justification. The nonsensical fiction is supposed remain in our minds, as a button to be pushed, so that we accept violence. ...
Big lies today? That Canada attacked the United States first by sending masses of fentanyl across the border. And also that Canada also does not really exist."

#FBPE #RejoinEU #Nazi propaganda taught that the “Big Lie”—a falsehood repeated enough times—becomes the truth. #Trump: “Rigged election.” “Fake news.” “Witch hunt.” He follows the playbook, flooding the media with lies until people believe them. #BigLie #FakeNews #WitchHunt

"Trump’s economic plans are incoherent and incomprehensible at least partially by design. The goal, by this longtime scam artist, is to bamboozle the American people and take their money."

I’m old enough to remember Bernie did the #BigLie first.

While talking about the #BigLie, Bernie used a classic classroom technique - audience participation! He asked questions and took answers from the audience. 18/
"Dans ce 3eme épisode d’analyse sur la transformation des États-Unis sous Trump, nous explorons le projet politique de Peter Thiel et son influence croissante à travers son protégé JD Vance. Au-delà d'une simple analyse du trumpisme, cet épisode révèle comment une alliance inédite entre tech-right américaine et forces anti-démocratiques menace directement l'Europe. À travers l'étude des réseaux d'influence, des techniques de manipulation et des vulnérabilités européennes, nous comprenons que ce qui se joue est une tentative de redéfinition radicale de l'ordre mondial. Un épisode crucial pour saisir les enjeux du moment historique que nous vivons."—Julien Devaureix

@ropetin, why assume he's dumb? Don't underestimate your opponent.
Sun Tzu would say it is about asymmetrical force. It's much easier to lie with a big platform than to produce a list. No one is going to be able to out-prove the lies. #BigLie politics is "Catch Me if You Can" Politics. Its a game of mob dynamics.
The ssn list might have been fabricated by GROK. There is no evidence to believe it's real or ever will be.
They will keep doubling down on lie after lie until they are stopped.
The top federal prosecutor in Washington D.C. has no prior experience prosecuting violations of the law. He has defended #Jan6terrorists

…Since launching his 1st Republican presidential campaign in 2015, #Trump has often attacked & even sued #media outlets whose coverage he dislikes, & has repeatedly criticized US #defamation laws.
A federal judge in 2023 threw out Trump's $475M defamation lawsuit against CNN, in which Trump claimed the network's description of his election #fraud as the "#BigLie" associated him w/ #Hitler. Trump's lawyers…invited the judge to reconsider the #legal standard set in #NYTvSullivan.

"When I got to the steps, they knocked me down, stepped on my head, pulled out my shoulder, broke my glasses, I was not breathing," Hemphill said. "If it wasn't for the Capitol Police Officers, I wouldn't be here 'cause I couldn't breathe. They pulled me up and put me behind them."
"The turning point for Hemphill came weeks later, as she learned how much of the "Stop the Steal" movement was based on lies.
"They're lying about everything."
I must be special because I was able to access all of those “destroyed” documents from the January 6 committee. Reports, interview videos, transcripts. Let me help you be special too and retain them. #uspol #January6Insurrection #Sedition #BigLie #LiarsBeware when the truth is in your face. https://www.govinfo.gov/collection/january-6th-committee-final-report?path=/GPO/January%206th%20Committee%20Final%20Report%20and%20Supporting%20Materials%20Collection

…#Trump’s 2024 election effort was more a #disinformation crusade than a conventional political campaign—a natural outgrowth of his peddling of the #BigLie about the prior presidential election. The falsehoods served him well & protected him from the accurate charge that he imperiled #democracy.
…So the #authoritarian virus that Trump represents has reinfected the political body. This time it’s worse. He has made clear his autocratic intent, with much of it spelled out in #Project2025.
