A quote from Dr. Joseph M. Goebbels, Hitler's propaganda minister

"The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extention, the truth becomes the greatest enemy of the state."

....might cause some people to look at the truth a little differently?

For example, as Medicaid, healthcare, and food stamps are taken away, the lies and propaganda will not work so well.
