Repetition makes a fact seem more true, regardless of whether it is or not. Understanding this effect can help you avoid falling for propaganda, says psychologist Tom Stafford.

“Repeat a lie often enough and it becomes the truth”, is a law of propaganda often attributed to the Nazi Joseph Goebbels. Among psychologists something like this known as the "illusion of truth" effect. Here's how a typical experiment on the effect works: participants rate how true trivia items are, things like "A prune is a dried plum". Sometimes these items are true (like that one), but sometimes participants see a parallel version which isn't true (something like "A date is a dried plum").
After a break – of minutes or even weeks – the participants do the procedure again, but this time some of the items they rate are new, and some they saw before in the first phase. The key finding is that people tend to rate items they've seen before as more likely to be true, regardless of whether they are true or not, and seemingly for the sole reason that they are more familiar.

I've not seen a better explanation for how so many lies spewed by trump have become adopted by The Following as the truth. Most of us intuitively know it to be so. What else accounts for the persistent belief in the Big Lie, and so many others?

But he can't do it alone. What doesn't get enough attention is the crucial role conservative media plays in reinforcing the lies trump tells. If Faux fact checked trump on a regular basis the country would be a far different place. But then Faux's on air personalities lie inveterately as well. It's an essential part of their business model. Not correcting a lie being almost as bad as starting one.

There's another name for the "illusion of truth" trumples so ardently believe in. Coined by trump's former chief propagandist, Kellyanne. It's called "alternative facts."

Kellyanne Conway: Sean Spice shared ‘alternative facts’ in Trump's crowd size

Kellyanne Conway, adviser to President Trump, joined “Meet the Press”on January 22, 2017. Chuck Todd pressed her about Trump’s decision to have Press Secretary Sean Spicer lie about inauguration crowd sizes. Conway said Spicer provided the White House Press Corps with “alternative facts.” Chuck...

What began as a tortured excuse for Sean Spicer's inaugural crowd size lie has blossomed in to the belief in what is tantamount to a parallel universe. A safe place for The Following to retreat to when reality becomes unbearably inconvenient.

Biden "The border is secure"
Mayorkas "The border is secure"
Mayorkas "There is no crisis at the border"
Biden "There is no crisis at the border"

It doesn't always work.

I got a gas stove. I expect the FBI to break down my door any minute now.

Grow the fuck up.

you'd replace that stove I'm sure.

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

You realize that you are talking about LEGAL immigrants right?

Chicagoans aren't complaining about legal immigrants using resources
that should be used for poor Chicagoans.

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

Biden let 15 million legal immigrants sneak across the border? Liar.

Pure commie projection. Like the MSM adopting lies and spewing them verbatim across all their platforms. Examples have been posted here many times.

Actually no they came here illegally and were given temporary protected status by Xiden and harris. Once trump takes office that status goes away if he wants to.

It simply means they are deciding not to remove them for the time being

all they do is wash, rinse, repeat. It's so exhausting to discuss anything with a demofk. All that sand in their ears from having their head in the ground.

Funny, they don't want Trump to set up an executive order, but didn't say jack shit when xiden did that. They are here illegally, congress is in control of the legal status.

It's the Alinsky way, "always accuse your opponents of what you are doing."

If that were true trump would not be the prez-elect since his entire campaign was founded on a mountain of lies.

Yes, Democrats and their media's campaign against Trump was founded on a mountain of lies. That's what you don't get but voters did.

And they haven't even learned that lesson yet. Evidence is in here.

The president can give tps to illegals

 

[jc456]

Someone sure got triggered. LOL

why does that happen to you so often?

 

[jc456]

Trumpy is just another old demagogue.

well xiden was useless garbage.

 

[jc456]

No, I've been there a couple times since the "THEY ARE EATING THE DOGS". Nothing is going on there. It's no different that they many other towns I travel through.

Why did you go to springfield ohio exactly?

 

[berg80]

The economy has had strong employment numbers , strong GDP growth, decreasing inflation…

Along WITH that strong stock market performance. In fact the US economy is doing better than any other nation in the world.

Calling the economy weak IS the lie

The Following has been lied to about the economy so when the orange Dotard gets sworn in he can begin taking credit for a strong economy. Like he did last time.

 

[pknopp]

Why did you go to springfield ohio exactly?

Passing through. I drive for a couple auto dealers. It's right on 70 and it's been a convenient food stop.
