Recently in wider society I observed a new behaviour - being of an enquiring mind I cast about to find out whether it was new and if not new then where has it been used in the past.
A big lie (German: große Lüge) is a propaganda technique.
What follows is pretty much a quote from Mein Kampf and is (not uncoincidentally) one psychological profile of Hitler.

As this is obviously a dig at Trump I have to add that I don't mean to suggest his motives are anything other than good. What history does suggest is that Trump is on a shit or bust path and he is unlikely to be a graceful loser either now or at any time in the future.

From Wikipedia:
Quote:..never allow the public to cool off; never admit a fault or wrong; never concede that there may be some good in your enemy; never leave room for alternatives; never accept blame; concentrate on one enemy at a time and blame him for everything that goes wrong; people will believe a big lie sooner than a little one; and if you repeat it frequently enough people will sooner or later believe it.
