Don't forget that this is a lie

Thank you for clearly marking that the statement is a lie, rather than just posting the tweet as is.

Repetition cannot create TRUTH,
but repetition can create BELIEF.

Repeat something often enough, & even people who *know* better will start to doubt reality & believe the lies.

"the more we see something repeated, the more likely we are to believe it to be true.”

Thread about the “Illusory Truth Effect” and why it is so important NOT to repeat lies on social media (or elsewhere), even with the intention of debunking them.
