If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. 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 extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.

Sooner or later, the only way to defeat Mr Trump is to fight fire with fire - the truth.

(24,692 posts)and ameliorating the lie's damage seem to be more 'realistic and moderate' way to appeal to voters. In practice, countering the lie (even at the risk of 'ignoring the polls') is a better way in the long run to keep conservatives from winning.
Enough said
