The creep, part 5

When it comes to the creep, every day is a new astonishment. Just today he gave a speech where he fantasized about violence against one of his political critics. His exact words: “Let’s put her with a rifle standing there with nine barrels shooting at her, OK? Let’s see how she feels about it. You know, when the guns are trained on her face.”

Imagine any other public figure saying such a thing in public. It would not only be the end of their political career. It would also cause people to seriously question their sanity.

And yet the creep has gradually trained millions of people to accept not just falsehoods, but even violently insane statements as simply business as usual. The trick is to repeat them over and over again.

I think that’s a technique he learned from one of his heroes. In the original German it is called “große Lüge”.
