Last night I heard it while I was drifting off to sleep, and had the strong sense that it was important. Thanks.

rough quote.

"If you tell a lie of a certain scale that’s big enough, people won’t believe that you could deceive them on the scale and since they believe it at first, they don’t want to disbelieve the lie. Later on it becomes part of their life and becomes an alternative reality, because of the lie shapes politics itself."

This explains a lot for me and why "they" think the way they do...
