“The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus become vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth becomes the greatest enemy of the State” Joseph Goebbels, propaganda minister to Adolph Hitler
Our problem is that we back down whenever something this incendiary is said. Even if it is the truth. And the Republicans are successful because they won't back down. Even if it is a lie. If what we say is a lie, then we should back down from it, lest we lose our integrity. If it is the truth, we should NEVER back down. We should keep hammering home the truth.
