We Need To Counter "The Big Lie" With "The Big Truth".....

We all know that "The Big Lie" is just that - a lie. The 2020 election was not stolen. It is a figment of TFG's & Repugs imagination. They made it up. It didn't happen.

Now I believe that the Dems need to counter 'the big lie' with "The Big Truth".

The Big Truth can be based on fact and actual goings on in the States around this country that are modifying laws to allow them to cheat with all sorts of voter suppression activities, gerrymandering and voter purges.

We don't have to lie. We just tell the truth about what TFG & the Repugs have up their sleeve and back it up with the facts. The 'truth' and the 'facts" are our saving grace.

The Repugs can't counter with any facts surrounding "The Big Lie" they are perpetrating. They don't have any facts to back up their 'big lie'.

We can show in black and white exactly how the Repugs are rigging the voting system and elections so that they - in fact - can steal the election. We can point out the States that are doing the rigging. We can pinpoint the gerrymandering that they are doing. We can illustrate just what the Repugs have up their sleeves. The Repugs have no counter to the truth. They can't handle "The Big Truth".

If we mount a major "The Big Truth" campaign. Yes - label it like the Repugs labelled 'the big lie' - and I really believe that we can get the majority of the American Electorate to understand and call out the Repugs and see them for what they are.

Such a campaign needs to be as relentless as their 'big lie' campaign. And we must use the tag line of "The Big Truth" as much as we can in order for it to sink in. We need to make the tagline "The Big Truth" as ubiquitous as the Repugs made "The Big Lie".

I know we are the ones that call it "The Big Lie". That term is so ingrained in the minds of the American People now because the Repugs & TFG keep the lie alive every chance they get. We Dems need to use the same tactic to make "The Big Truth" as ubiquitous.

We need to turn "The Big Lie" into "The Big Truth".

I think to raise the level of what they are trying to pull on us - so that even those 'non-cult' Americans - understand the full story and turn-out in force to vote in any and all up-coming elections.

We need to elevate the knowledge base of the American People so that they really understand how they are being taken advantage of and how the Repugs are the ones that do the cheating.

That's why I believe that this "The Big Truth" campaign be as visible as the Repugs out their that are foisting their 'big lie' on us.

The Big Truth campaign needs to be loud, vocal and very visible. We have to launch a sincere effort and we have to be behind it in order for it to be successful.

This is a marketing activity in order to save our democracy.

Then be ready for Repug Control of Congress & the Presidency. Hell - might as well put out a red carpet to welcome back Tr**p and his minions.

You've just told me that we have no hope. We're sunk.

So we might as well not try anything to see if we can change minds.

Just give up.

We're beat before we've even started.

Good-bye Biden. Good-bye House. Good-bye Senate. Good-bye Democracy.

If you can't beat-em - let them just have their way.

Be like the Afghan Army and just lay down your arms.

I guess I better get out now while I can - before the Repugs take over and close the airports.
