Modern propaganda operates through a continuum of escalating lies.

But it is true that if you, and that's the sort of frog boil of all of this, isn't it? This form of propaganda is like Nazi times. You start with a relatively minor suggestion. Then you start with something a little stronger. You have a small lie. Then you have a little bigger lie. I mean, the very first lie was about crowd sizes at the inauguration, right? On the very first day. And then, you know, look at the size of the lies. By the time we got to January 6th. And it really was a kind of continuum like that. And it was sort of like before we really knew it, you know, we were looking at this and saying, this lie about the 2020 election was unthinkable even a year ago.

The job of propaganda is to get people to accept fascism, not to win elections.

Because a propagandist can't win. By design. That's not their job. Their job is not to win. The winner is the military or whoever institutes fascism. The propaganda's job is always to get people to the point where they'll accept fascism. It's a terrible idea to do that before there's fascism.
