The Big Lie has been back in the news lately with many pundits professing confusion about why El Gran Narcisista would persist in telling such a thoroughly debunked transparent lie. The incompetence of the MSM is rivaled only by the incompetence of the administration they cover.

The purpose of such lies is clearly explained in Hitler’s Propaganda Playbook. First, they are to construct an alternate reality for the masses to believe. Any lie repeated often enough becomes believed. The more outlandish and transparent the lie, the more likely it will be accepted as truth because no body would be so foolish as to tell such a whooper, duh! We’ll come back to this one in a moment.

And second, it is a loyalty test. Anyone who is unwilling to repeat the lie in public fails. That’s why Sister Lindsey is all in with the Big Lie on the pundit shows and caught in sworn testimony decrying the foolish idiocy of Il Dunce. And, it is why what is said in private doesn’t matter. To be a loyal member of the Felon Reich, you have to be willing to embarrass yourself on national TV repeating absurdities and twisting your logic and reasoning into Gordian Knots defending it to incredulous interviewers. Bonus points for spittle inflected rage at being challenged.

Let’s take a look at how these lies help Ditch manage his MAGA supporters Last week, we posted about a poll showing how many non-MAGA Republicans opposed Trump’s ICE antics being interpreted as weakness in Trump’s support. While the numbers were flashy, what they really showed was that a significant number of MAGA and non-MAGA Republicans either thought ICE was doing a bang up job or needed to murder more rea live Americans in the streets in their pursuit of five year olds to lock up and deport.

Does MAGA Support ICE Atrocities? Hell YES!

The question we’re answering here is why does MAGA support such atrocities? The answer of course is that they believe the lies that Republicans are telling them. The effectiveness of these lies is demonstrated in an NPR story in which they ventured into MAGA country and got some people on the street material.

The Protests Aren’t Really Protests

The intrepid reporter asked Allistaire Lawrence, attic renovator, about the cold-blooded murder of Alex Pretti in Minneapolis. In essence, he blamed Pretti and the “protesters” for the killing, reasoning that the ICE agents were on edge and jumpy because they’ve been in so many threatening and harrowing situations where they’re lives really were at stake. Honest. They were.

Additionally, Pretti shouldn’t have been there at all because the agents were armed. See, in Second Amendment America, if a liberal approaches an armed armored masked agent, they are just asking to be shot and killed. Why is there any argument about this? It’s all right there in the Constitution.

And lastly, the “protesters” are not actually protesting they are obstructing justice. He knows this because protesters are now given fenced off areas way away out of the way to do their little protesting. These people are all up in it, and we all know that the penalty fora liberal being up in a law officers face is death. Again, it is right there in the Constitution.

I’m glad MAGA could clear that up for us all. Let’s hear from another!

The Undocumented are Committing All of the Father Rape

We’ll quote directly from the article because no amount of snark, sarcasm, or profanity can make a dent in this hot mess.

“I have a 12-year-old daughter, and if I were to happen to witness my daughter being raped by an illegal immigrant that has committed crimes over and over and again and not being deported … that’s not OK,” a woman named Barrow said.

What the actual fuck? Where do you even start with such a twisted distorted statement? Is she actually suggesting that if her daughter’s rapist were a born-in-America red blooded all American white American man, it would be better than some filthy disease ridden staining serial rapist from some shit hole country? And, then to conclude with the milque toast, “that’s not OK”?

She followed that oddly dispassionate declaration up by stating that she often hears stories about undocumented immigrants raping fathers and eating children and buying the houses of good wholesome Americans forcing them to become homeless. She doesn’t know how many violent crimes the undocumented commit, but she knows it is bad.

The Veneer of Truthiness

And, that is the problem with telling those lies over and over again in the echo chamber of conservative media. They get believed because so many people repeat them. It is a human fallacy to accept as truth anything that a large number of people around us profess to believe.

Lies Build Support for ICE Atrocities

This is why you can’t go along to get a long and not challenge untrue statements. But, more importantly, it lays bare the harm that the MSM has done by bothsidesing issues and not challenging transparent bold-faced lies. We’ve let the snake into the house, we shouldn’t be surprised that it has bitten us.

We shouldn’t let ourselves be fooled by the soft spongy edges of Republican support for mass deportation. Focus on the board support that the ethnic cleansing is receiving in Red States. Tennessee gives grants to police agencies that agree to help ICE. New Hampshire has banned sanctuary cities. Other states are seeking to follow suit.

Democracy Only For White Male Voters

We also shouldn’t kid ourselves about the effectiveness of Trump’s lies. They serve to convince many Republican rank and vile voters that their inner racists are right, Blacks and Browns are icky, dirty, ignorant, disease ridden criminals that should be gotten rid of. Those lies about Haitians eating the cats and dogs of Springfield are goose stepping us right into the final solution of all to Trump’s impediments to massive corruption and grift and staying in office forever. Part of their fantasy of living in “The Song of the South” and “The Handmaid’s Tale” is that democracy means only white men voting.

We cannot let our desires of winning them over by witnessing the brutality of the system they support — and a large minority don’t think is brutal enough — fool us. These beliefs have been around since the inception of the country. We’ve tried making nice with them before and it only got us the three-fifths compromise, the Civil War, and Jim Crow. MAGA is deplorable and incorrigible. Remember that.
