Man, it is as clear as it gets.
Lies have a shelf life that makes the truth whimper helplessly. How do I know that? Think of The Big Lie that continues to grow legs, even though there isn’t a shred of truth to its existence.
The Big Lie, of course, is that President Biden earned election in 2020 because the process was “rigged,” that he stole it from the 45th president of the U.S. of A.
He didn’t do anything of the sort. Joe Biden was elected POTUS fairly and squarely. Yet The Big Lie continues to grow legs, wings and other forms of conveyance. The Big Lie won’t die. It cannot die as long as its chief purveyor — the aforementioned 45th POTUS — keeps repeating it.
What is even more troubling that the ex-POTUS repeats The Big Lie is that there remains so many millions of Americans who actually believe the nonsense that the ex-POTUS keeps repeating.
I am at a loss as to how to put down The Big Lie. How in the name of truth-telling does one persuade the gullible among us that The Big Lie harms our democratic process? POTUS 45 is inflicting damage on our democracy every time he insists that the 2020 election was “stolen” from him. Good grief, man. It wasn’t stolen! Not only that, the ex-Liar in Chief doesn’t reveal a single, solitary shred of evidence to substantiate The Big Lie.
The Big Lie has more lives than the proverbial cat in the back alley.
Hey, I am just sitting here in the peanut gallery. I cannot seem to change anyone’s mind that The Big Lie inflicts grievous damage to the system of government we all say we cherish.
You know what? That won’t deter me from continuing to keep harping on this fundamental truth: The Big Lie and those who foment it are nowhere close to being the “patriots” they claim to be.
