Hitler called it The Big Lie. For Putin, it's the Firehose of Falsehood. Steve Bannon calls it Flood the Zone with Shit. Lying on a massive scale works.
Great post but I take slight issue with this part: "surveys showed that 68% of American Republicans believed Trump’s claim that the 2020 election was stolen. At the time, zero people believed it" I think a lot of people believed it. He set the stage for massive "election fraud" then repeated it the day of and after for years.
