A big lie (German: große Lüge) is a propagandatechnique. The expression was coined by Adolf Hitler, when he dictated his 1925 book Mein Kampf, about the use of a lie so "colossal" that no one would believe that someone "could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously"

Calling out a fascist for taking a hypocritical position is easy. It's also a complete waste of time. Fascist rhetoric is aesthetics— pathos, never logos.
You'll never get anywhere pointing out a fascist's hypocrisy. Fascism is not to be debated, it's to be smashed. Get comfortable using power.

You can tell Canadians are avoiding travel to the USA because the Team Canada World Jrs game in Minnesota is about 1/2 full at best. That’s unheard of.

Trump is so predictable. His Christmas posts were filled with hate and hostility. Almost word for word of the ones he posts every day. Americans know this is not normal or presidential. He has no filter or self control. Maga says he is being authentic, no, he just thinks he is invincible

Many Catholic churches in the US have dedicated Spanish-language Masses. And it's sad to think that Latino Catholics might be skipping those Masses today to avoid making themselves easy targets for ICE.
Catholics represent fewer than 20% of U.S. adults, however, they make up 61% of the population at risk of deportation. Trump’s immigration crackdown is disproportionately hitting Catholic communities.
