Do you believe in politics if a lie is repeated enough it will be believed?

Not just politics but also real life. The recent riots in England showed how false stories can result in violent riots based on lies pushed by fake stories from Channel3Now a Pakistani/US/Russian site. Musk shared a fake Tweet to over 2 million that the UK was sending rioters down to internment camps in the Falklands, he later pulled it, however it still went out to at least 2 million and then millions more. In modern social media, getting Musk to spread a fake story or not fully factually correct will see it getting an initial 2 million views, then countless others from that single tweet.

That is how advertising/propaganda works, deary.

You ever wonder why those shit adverts often stick in your head, like political soundbites? It's because they use the same psychological tricks.

Yes. "I love the poorly educated". -Donald Trump

He lies as naturally as most people breathe and there's no one he's convinced of lies more than himself by repeating them endlessly. Despite no evidence of any remote significance, he's convinced a lot of uneducated people the last election was stolen from him. It's a lie mostly for himself so he can sleep at night without realizing he's a loser but a lot of people have latched on to it and believe all his lies mindlessly.

Politics are for the insane population.
Doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.

If someone famous on TV or the Internet says it. People will believe it

Won't be true or a fact but people will put their whole trust in the lie!

By the uneducated and helpless bottom portion of society, very possibly.

Yes, lots of people believe that the 2020 presidential election was not stolen.
