Trump's most obvious lies (like pretending he never led chants of "lock her up) are perhaps the most disturbing.
Telling lies that everyone knows are lies is a classic tactic of dictators to force their followers to side with them over the truth itself.
@rbreich That’s what happens when you let liars into power: They use the power to create more & deeper lies to gather even more power.
Rinse & repeat.
Once the critical mass is reached, you’ll blink and the world has changed. Now they control the narrative.
