It’s Play #1 in the totalitarian playbook: “The Big Lie.” Make it simple, and repeat it over and over again, and people will believe it. It’s easy to get away with “the Big Lie” when it’s the only message from the official state propaganda organs and it’s not rebutted.
Oh, there is one other aspect of “the Big Lie,” too; it has to be on something totally unrelated to the real issues of the day, and is there to deflect negative press. For this, “the GOP wants to take away your birth control” is perfect. It has nothing to do with the communist infiltrators bankrupting our country.
I agree with your post. So true. This is completely taking our attention to so many problems facing our country today. You are so right.
