They are not just lying, they are backing their lies with threats of violence and other methods of intimidation. They threaten the press, corporations, and any who take stands against them. They don’t just repeat the old lies, the constantly come up with new, more ridiculous ones so that the exposing of the old lies is never heard over the chaos of the new ones. The press can’t help because so many of the trusted names are hedging their bets against a Trump win. WaPo might go out of business. The Times is surviving because of their puzzles. Their editorials are against Trump but their headlines are often misleading and anti-Biden.
The best way to beat this is by old-fashion neighborhood politics. Postcards can be helpful but field work is the best. Trump just held a rally in a Black church in Detroit to push his lie that he is popular in the Black community. Some of the press reported it that way. The next day it came out the almost all the people who attend were paid by the Trump campaign and most were white. Very few of those who attended were from the community. Trump is a great showman, but he is a terrible person with not morals, integrity, with no idea of what is going on in the world. More people are beginning to realize this. He can be beaten.
“ exposing of the old lies is never heard over the chaos of the new ones “ - is right on .
I might add that much of the media that would expose the lies would not
be heard at all by the spellbound Trumpers . Even more scary is that
I have “ friends “ that refuse to
acknowledge the truth - even when
the lie is directly pointed out to them.
These former friends are too far gone
but they may have enough like
minded people in battleground states
to pull off the unthinkable.
I've run into that. I don't know if it's willful disbelief, they know and don't care, or they are in it so deep that they can't see the light. When I run into someone that I say is that our differences are so great that one of us must be wrong, and maybe in a year the truth will become apparent. I hope so, but it hasn't happened in 8 years.

Thanks Daniel – That was helpful! I wish I could figure out how to post it.

It's not just Trumpers and rightwingers. I have Jewish friends and family members who can look at what is happening in Gaza and say it is not genocide. They see what they want to see, not the reality. I was born to Jewish parents but now I despise Judaism.
