When the Big Lie Was Born

When The Big Lie Was Born
or
How Did Trump Know?

Donald Trump did not first tell us about the Stolen Election after it happened.
He told us before it happened, months before. As early as June he was sounding the alarm
that Democrats were fixing the election against him. As election day approached he went further,
arguing that his own popularity had become so great that it was not possible for Biden to win
except by fraud, a startling statement given that Biden was leading in the polls, all the polls,
leads outside their margins of error. Even Rasmussen, the most Republican friendly national
poll, predicted Trump would lose. In what must have seemed a blow, company president
Scott Rasmussen wrote a column a few days before the election warning there
was little chance Trump could close the gap.

Rasmussen and all the other pollsters might have been mistaken, of course. Trump might
have won after all. Biden’s official electoral vote victory by the same margin that Trump
defeated Hillary Clinton, which he had called a “blowout”, might not have happened in what
we think of as the visible world; that it was mere coincidence the size of Biden’s electoral vote
was about what the polls predicted and from the states the polls predicted. But how could
Trump have KNOWN the polls were wrong, known that Biden despite his apparent insurmountable
lead not only might still lose but could only lose. Incredibly, breathtakingly when you think
about it, HE DID KNOW. “I alone knew,” he might have said, in that way he has of occasionally
reminding us of his special standing in the universe.

There is but one possible answer to this question of How Trump Knew when no one else did
or could. Donald Trump walks with God.

I know it and so do you.

Well, come to think of it, there is another answer to consider: that Trump’s pre-election certainty
of Biden’s only (dishonest) chance of beating him was a product of his imagination and fear of
losing, that he obviously made the whole thing up back in June, 2020 and all the other days leading
to the election when over and over he sang the same tale of predicted, not his fault, election night woe
maybe for himself but definitely for his voters for whom he could not bear the thought of being
perceived “a loser”.

If so, a simple lesson and choice lie herein: it has been from its pre-election beginning, The Big Lie. Or, Donald
Trump walks with God. Take your pick.

He told us before it happened, months before.

It started before that! Months before the 2016 election he was saying it was rigged. Until it turned out he won.

Then he just had to explain why he failed to get a majority of the popular vote. Obvious: millions of illegals voted against him.

But they were so devious that none of them were ever traced. Sad.

This needs to be shouted through a bullhorn. How else can you get it through the thick skulls of trumpers. </rhetorical>

[zymurgy]

haha - that isn't the big lie

the big lie is the media and big tech did not assist in making the election rigged from the get go

Russia Collusion. Twitter hiding scandals. and on and on. all enough to taint any fair election - making this process a sham.

[BartenderElite]

He started way before that. He called the 2012 election a sham, and said there was massive fraud in the 2016 election.

It's an old habit from his business days. Cover all the bases.

What surprizes me is that anyone still believes this half-assed lying clown. All he knows is ME, ME, ME!

If they need a person like that to champion their corner, maybe there's something wrong with their corner.

Which big lie? The one that went......" Now you listen to me, I DID NOT HAVE SEX WITH THAT WOMAN" or was it....." There is a vast right wing conspiracy against myself and my husband Bill" or was it the one that went...." If you like your insurance, you can keep your insurance,...thats a promise" ????

Or the huge lie, that 80 million people voted for a senile racist, who wouldn't leave his basement!

Never an easy thing penetrating Trumper grey matter.

Jesus Himself could come down on a cloud and tell them, and they'd just cover their ears and yell "Fake news! Fake prophet! Fake Jesus!"

TRUMP!!! TRUMP!!! TRUMP!!!

when the mainstream media refuses to remind the electorate that he dropped out of races for plagiarism - and only talk about things that are positive. When big tech refuses to allow us to discuss how he and his son are crooked as hell - it improves his electability. In contract, focusing on Russian collusion, children in cages, and all the other nonsense discourages votes for the other side

the big lie is how the media and big tech is sweeping this under the rug

focusing on some hard to prove fraud - when the election itself was rigged to prevent equal negative coverage seems silly to me

LOL

Man, you've gotta take a LONG trip through memory lane for some of those. And I don't recall any of 'em inspiring an insurrection, or a majority of a major political party to think our elections are now corrupt.

I also love when people bring up that insurance one. It's actually not a lie - and it's the only one conservatives can cite from Obama, from 8 years. I can cite 2,000 from Trump (in 4 years).
