"If you tell a lie big enough and tell it frequently enough, people will eventually come to believe it". What is an example of this happening today?

I would really rather that these were actual examples, and not conspiracy theories. We all have our own unsubstantiated ideas about what shadowy no-gooders are doing, but I'd rather hear about things that are actually happening.

          • you said downvotes makes someone rigjt, i said someone sayinf racist shit grtring downvoted disproves uour point and you called me racist. you strawmanned cause your argument is nonsense

            • No, I said the fact that people are downvoting is indication that a lot of people here believe nonsense because downvotes indicate disagreement. People downvoting racist shit would mean people disagree with racism, which is good and normal. Thanks, for once again illustrating your utter lack of capacity for critical thought.
