I remember the most dramatic vote of the new Trump administration, in July 2017, when John McCain defied Trump and his fellow Republicans and killed their attempt to repeal Obamacare.

Could you have imagined that seven years later Trump would deny that ever happened and pretend he was Obamacare’s protector? And expect to be believed? We are living in strange times.

@nyrath @gleick Nothing new here: it's Hitler's "Big Lie": you screech a giant mistruth, then double down and keep repeating it at ever increasing volume, and whenever anyone challenges you over it you change the subject and accuse them of something evil that you want to do.
