Joe Biden and ‘The Big Lie’
Democratic politicians and the progressive media used the term "big lie" ad nauseam to describe many of President Donald Trump's statements. Their final recent cry of "the big lie" came on the heels of the 2020 presidential election, which Trump alleged that the Democrats had stolen.
Where does the phrase "the big lie" come from? The expression was coined by Adolf Hitler in his 1925 book Mein Kampf. He used the term "big lie" or "great lie" (grosse lüge in German) in his book to describe the use of a lie so colossal that no one would be willing to believe that someone could be so audacious as to distort the truth so colossally. (For that reason, the future great manipulator wrote, "the great masses of people … will more easily fall victims to a great lie than a small one.")
