The real Big Lie, and there are two

 The real Big Lie, and there are two. 


The Big Lie is not that Trump continually claims the election was stolen. It wasn’t. 

The Big Lie is that Trump’s claims are a significant threat to Democracy. It wasn’t.   Over 70 million people voted for Trump. Tens of thousands of supporters went to Washington to support him on January 6. Thousands march to the capital. Hundreds broke into the capital. Tens had evil intent. This was wrong. It is condemned by all.   It wasn’t a significant threat to our Democracy. It wasn’t an armed insurrection.  The protesters did not kill anybody.

The other Big Lie is the Democrats’ continued propagation of a false narrative that systemic racism is the cause of all the disparities with blacks. This is a lie. It is tearing our country apart. And it is hurting blacks. It led to thousands of riots, billions of damage, and hundreds of deaths with the violence over the summer at BLM protests.
