How Does the Big Lie Finally Die?
This fellow’s announcement reminds us the Big lie won’t be around forever. The percentage of Republican voters who still believe it is at 58%, but that’s down from 70% just a few months ago. It’s possible that the number of both voters and their representatives in Congress will slowly dwindle and finally, the whole concept of a stolen election simply fades from view.
It’s also possible, and, I think, highly likely, that there will be a specific event that results in an explosion.
Keep in mind that the committee to investigate the January 6th insurrection is looking into an issue that is far larger that Trump’s alleged incitement of the riot, i.e., the entire range of activities he orchestrated in an attempt to overturn the election. This may result in one or more felony indictments against him.
If that happens, and the world gets to watch the presentation of the evidence in the case, the Big Lie goes boom.
