pfife Posted February 11, 2022 Posted February 11, 2022 No need to see how it ages. It's already crap. Mark Meadows was found in contempt of congress for defying a subpoena from the Jan 6 committee. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/house-expected-vote-mark-meadows-criminal-contempt-referral-n1285908 Quote

oblong Posted February 11, 2022 Posted February 11, 2022 Doesn't matter. As long as the audience believes you then the point is valid. All 38,000 people watching whatever network that is now believes there's no investigation. Quote

That's the thing Trump and his political allies understand better than anything, if you tell a lie over and over again, as long as you just keep more or less the same lie going, people will eventually start believing you and doubting the truth. They also understand you can muddy up the truth by telling those same lies and get people to become apathetic and believe all politics and all politician are the same and equally crooked or unscrupulous. When in reality, they are just full of shit and lack more scruples than almost anyone. Lying and deciding is an artform for Trump and his political allies like Meadows, Gym Jordan, Guliani, Flynn, Powell, Lindell, and others. To your point, because they have hammered home this election lie so many times over the course of a year or more, very viewing on Newsmax, Fox, OAN, believes them. 1 Quote

We all started learning this in earnest when Sean Spicer flat out lied about the size of Trump's inauguration, even though everybody could see the truth right in front of them. IMHO the importance of the impact of that event on our shift in thinking on such bold, bald-faced mass gaslighting is underrated. Edited February 11, 2022 by chasfh Quote

They also think if you talk louder or more forcefully it somehow makes you correct, or at least seem correct in the eyes of other people. Quote
