About Trump's "No Collusion" talk.

...It is Trump's belief that if he repeats a lie often enough, then some people will believe it. So, Trump and family repeat over and over again. ".No Collusion" , "No Collusion" and "No Collusion"...

....Perhaps his base believes him, but most of us don't. Let's see...Where did he get the idea of repeating a lie?................................................
Joseph Goebbels, Hitler's propaganda chief said, "If you repeat a lie often enough, people will believe it."

...That is where Mr. Trump got the idea of repeating a lie, over and over and over again. Trump's base might believe, but most of us won't believe. Because it is simply a lie. If you don't believe the Goebbel's connection., look it up..................................please look it up.

Hey, once you verify this, ..(yes, this is an idea from Hitler)...why don't you pass it on to as many people who will listen. Tell them to look it up too. Some may not know who Joseph Goebbels was. Pass it on. Maybe they need to know the origin of the lies, lies, and more lies.

Or the last time I saw it anyway. As if WW2 was the only history we have. The Nazi Channel?

2. My opinion..It isn't that it is from the Nazi, it is that Trump uses this Nazi idea..Hitler's ideas

..At some point I read that Trump was somewhat of a student of Nazi propaganda. I wish I could cite that info, but I can't. I am sure someone here can. Far more important is the fact that Trump uses the idea, today, in our country and it works with some. (especially if those people watch Fox News)

There's no need to have that many shows on about hitler imho. Gotta wonder how many of his followers watch those shows.
Where's FDR week? Or even Eisnehower week? WAY too much Nazi glorification and normalization.

After the committee had proved that Nixon lied, and impeachment was going to be voted on, at that point in 1974, I read that 23 percent, (or close to that) still thought Nixon was totally innocent. Somewhere between 20 and 25 percent. Innocent!!!!
...After the erased tape was discovered, the hearings, and all the rest had come out..at least 1 in 5 thought he was
..."innocent"....So now Trump has more..but it will get down to that 22 percent. Why? because Trump is a crook too. In some ways a different and worse crook, but he is a crook too.

My sister is a Trumpeter but she puts Putin and Hillary in the same despicable category.

They really just shut out any information about the Orange Circus Peanut that they don't want to know. The strongest thing she ever said was "I wish he wouldn't tweet so much."

Sigh...

7. Yes, true believers do shut out information "they don't want to know"

And some of the most important information is "shut out" because of this. We need all the information that is available, not just that which we like.
