The Big Lie

Do you recognize The Big Lie now? The Big Lie is that Black Lives Matter is coming to your neighborhood where they will defund your police department and leave you defenseless.

The real problem is people who feel privileged to control society to the point where they believe that they can commit violence with impunity when they don’t agree with what’s happening.

The Big Lie claims that the only defense against annihilation is draconian policing, restrictive immigration policy, and marginalization of “the other.” Politicians who advocate such policies are perceived as heroic champions fighting the specter of violence conjured up by The Big Lie.

People who would vote against marginalization and for an expansion of liberties are perceived as a threat. They can be intimidated, harassed, bullied, beaten, and imprisoned because their actions run contrary to the desires of the privileged.
