If I have to hear the phrase "big lie" one more time, I’m going to lose it. First, I don't think it's kosher for various media outlets to keep peddling the lexicon of Joseph Goebbels. Second, the real "big lie" was right under our noses the entire time. The call was coming from inside the house, but let's recap what this whole charade is because the Democrats, the liberal media, and even some Republicans simply cannot shut the hell up about it.
The election was stolen by Biden and the Democrats. That’s the "big lie." Look, unlike Democrats in 2016, I've accepted the results. It sucks. I'll never believe that Joe Biden got 81 million people to vote for him, especially now as crisis after crisis is besieging this administration and he’s nowhere to be found. He calls a lid before 2 PM and goes to sleep. No, the real "big lie" was Russian collusion.
Mollie Hemingway has written a book about the 2020 election and had an excellent Twitter thread noting how we were all gaslit on this topic. The Trump-Russia collusion myth, and its subplot being that the former president was a Russian agent, dominated the news for years. It helped Democrats retake the House in the 2018 midterms. And it was used as the tinder to set the impeachment fire that engulfed DC over the Ukraine quid pro quo story that was also shoddy, had weak evidence, and was appallingly political in nature. Democrats used Russian collusion and impeachment as a 2018 campaign promise. They had to do this.
"It [the Russian collusion lie] was used to bully weak Republicans away from an agenda. And for telling the lie, the media gave itself many awards. But for some reason, it wasn't called a lie," Hemingway wrote. Yet, in 2020, "when media invented fake stories (Afghan bounties, Aisne Marne), suppressed real ones (Biden family corruption), pushed fake polls, unprecedented tech censorship silenced opposition, and there was a 'revolution' in voting, you can have no questions? Convenient!" she added. She also found a tweet from Nancy Pelosi, who alleged that the 2016 election was "hijacked."
When the media and other prominent Democrats all the way up to Hillary Clinton and Jimmy Carter spent four years hysterically repeating that Donald Trump was a traitor who colluded with Russia to steal the 2016 election, we didn't call that a "big lie." Why is that?

That lie was used to win multiple elections. It *dominated* news, with daily updates suggesting it was somehow true. It was used to bully weak Republicans away from an agenda. And for telling the lie, the media gave itself many awards. But for some reason it wasn't called a lie.

I don't recall the corrupt media demanding every Democrat denounce Nancy Pelosi for this tweet, or calling it a big lie. In fact, they agreed with it and helped her push her claim of a "hijacked election" for *years.* https://t.co/mm1uCTl2eq pic.twitter.com/IvkMtc1FIs

That’s what’s so shameless about the Democrats' 'big lie.' It's right in front of us, and they know conservatives don't have the media resources or operatives to push back. We don’t dominate the mainstream press. We don’t have an audience that rivals the Big Three—ABC, CBS, and NBC. We have a loose confederation of blogs, radio hosts, and Fox News to fight back. Yes, Fox's ratings kill, but one network cannot do it all. We've come a long way since the days of only having Rush Limbaugh and letters to the editor, but the Left knows how to inflict damage. When it comes time when we can do something about it, which is election time, the damage is done. Like "Inception," the idea is planted, and we then have to search for a totem to see if we're actually still sane from the perversion of lies sandwiched on top of one another. Carefully manufactured, when these lies unravel, it's usually too late.

The fact that the media can move on virtually unscathed by their lie of Russia collusion also shows the power of this institution. Everyone who peddled the Steele Dossier as fact and thought this whole acid-addled conspiracy theory was grounded in fact and reality shouldn’t have a job in media right now. Instead, some have not only kept their jobs—they've been promoted. It's a cesspool, but one where the water is so murky with the corruption and lies that it would swallow us up before we could weaponize their own dirty laundry against them. We do get lucky. We get our scalps, but it’s still David v. Goliath, and in this case, Goliath can and will continue to gaslight us on the 2020 election, Russian collusion, and the COVID vaccine, which is a Trump initiative.
Democrats can lie, be corrupt, have sex with underage girls, do cocaine, have wild sex parties, and manufacture grade-A lies to win elections. Why? They have apparatuses that offer them incredible protection. That's the enemy we face. The true enemies of the people and the big lie they told and got away with. It’s a multi-trillion-dollar heist, and they got away. If it sounds rigged, that’s because it is.
