The Big Lies

Timothy snyder: There's no way the big lie could have sustained itself just on the strength of trump, despite the fact he has a huge megaphone. The reason why the big lie lasted from november to january is because senators and members of congress went along with it. They gave it those two months of life. Without that, this couldn't have happened, and wouldn't have happened. And so mister trump's big lie today depends upon basically the central lie in the happy version of us history which is that everything's always been all right.
