‘Big lie’ being told by Democrats, left

The “big lie” is defined as a gross distortion or misrepresentation of the truth, used especially as a propaganda technique. The expression was coined by Adolf Hitler, in his 1925 book “Mein Kampf,” to describe the use of a lie so “colossal” that no one would believe that someone “could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously.”

Joseph Goebbels and the Nazi Party then used the big lie propaganda technique to turn long-standing antisemitism in Europe into the mass murder of 6 million Jews, until America and our allies crushed Hitler’s Third Reich.

Sadly, America’s Democrat Party of today is again utilizing the big lie to smear supporters of President Donald Trump as “white supremacists” and telling their co-conspirators in the corporate media that the Jan. 6 protest of election certification at the Capitol was an “armed insurrection,” that America is permanently stained by systemic racism. These big lies are spewed to create discord and divide the American people into warring factions.

To understand the truth about America, just remember that Americans fought a bloody Civil War to end slavery, voted for a black man as president twice and also many black elected officials all around the country.

Don’t allow the America-hating left to destroy your faith in the foundational principles of our country, as guaranteed to every citizen in our founding documents. United We Stand.
