“If you repeat a lie often enough it becomes the truth.” So said Adolph Hitler’s propaganda minister Joseph Goebbles many decades ago, and that message used by Nazi Germany worked for many dictators and political parties over the decades and obviously still works pretty well today. If you want to believe something bad enough you will buy into those words and swallow anything they want you to believe, hook, line and sinker.
Today, the once honorable GOP has sold its soul to a wanna-be dictator named Donald J. Trump, a man to whom integrity, honesty and humility is for suckers. A man who with practically his first campaign breath in the presidential election contest with Clinton called the race”fixed” if he didn’t win. He promised a better health care plan and proceeded to try to tear apart Obamacare, he promised an infrastructure rebuild that never happened, a wall paid for by Mexico that cost U.S. taxpayers billions. Now it’s the “stolen election.” The big lie is Donald Trump.
The phrase “united we stand, divided we fall” has been around for a while but has never been as applicable to this nation as it is now. To divide us the only way Trump can win and the cost of Trump’s lies as it continues today? The very real possibility that we will lose our country as a democracy, that’s all.
