Donald Trump and The Big Lie
How Donald Trump Uses The Adolph Hitler Playbook To Divide America
It frightens me how well Donald Trump uses the technique of the Big Lie to sow division and discord among us. Because I’m old enough to remember well who invented the Big Lie and how he used it to kill millions and to tear a continent apart.
Adolph Hitler was the chief theorist of the Big Lie. Listen to him as he explains how it works;
“… in the big lie there is always a certain force of credibility; because the broad masses of a nation are always more easily corrupted in the deeper strata of their emotional nature than consciously or voluntarily; and thus in the primitive simplicity of their minds they more readily fall victims to the big lie than the small lie, since they themselves often tell small lies in little matters but would be ashamed to resort to large-scale falsehoods”…
People noticed what he was doing, of course. During WWII an analyst wrote this about his technique, “His primary rules were;
Never allow the public to cool off
Never admit a fault or wrong
Never concede that there may be some good in your enemy
Never leave room for alternatives
