Trump tries to follow the strategy of Hitler, who said:
“Make the lie big, make it simple, keep saying it, and eventually they will believe it.”
“It's all working out. Just remember: what you're seeing and what you're reading is not what's happening.”
The incitement of anti-American sedition:
“Just take a look, take third world countries. Their elections are more honest than what we’ve been going through in this country.”
“All of us here today do not want to see our election victory stolen by emboldened radical left Democrats, which is what they’re doing and stolen by the fake news media.”
“You will have an illegitimate president. That is what you will have, and we can't let that happen.”
“If you don't fight like hell you're not going to have a country anymore.”
“Our country has had enough. We will not take it anymore and that’s what this is all about. To use a favorite term that all of you people really came up with, We will stop the steal.”
“You'll never take back our country with weakness.”
“So, I mean, I could go on and on about this fraud that took place in every state...”
“[F]raud breaks up everything, doesn't it? When you catch somebody in a fraud, you're allowed to go by very different rules.”
“We won in a landslide. This was a landslide.”
“We will never concede--it dosen't happen. You don't concede when there's theft involved.”
“[I]f Mike Pence does the right thing, we win the election.”
“There is no evidence that any voting system deleted or lost votes, changed votes, or was in any way compromised.”
“Elections play a vital role in a free and fair society and are a cornerstone of American democracy. We recognize the fundamental link between the trust in election infrastructure and the confidence the American public places in basic democratic function. A secure and resilient electoral process is a vital national interest and one of our highest priorities at the Department of Homeland Security.”

America's Biggest Loser
In total dishonor of Trump:
Over a hundred and seventy ways to say “bullshit.”
“This is a tough hurricane, one of the wettest we've ever seen from the standpoint of water.”
“I know words. I have the best words.”
“So look, all I want to do is this. I just want to find 11,780 votes...”
The Russia investigation “was a coup. This was an attempted overthrow of the United States government.”
“If we stopped testing right now, we'd have very few cases, if any.”
“We inherited a broken test” [for COVID-19]
“One day — it's like a miracle — it will disappear.”
“I've always known this is a real, this is a pandemic. I've felt it was a pandemic long before it was called a pandemic.”
“We’ve tested more than every country combined.”
“I see the disinfectant that knocks it out in a minute, one minute. And is there a way we can do something like that by injection inside or almost a cleaning?”
Hear the loser speak.
“Lying has always been a highly approved Nazi technique.”
Robert H. Jackson
“Truth is certainly a branch of morality and a very important one to society.”
Thomas Jefferson
“The supreme quality for a leader is unquestionably integrity. Without it, no real success is possible...”
Dwight D. Eisenhower
“To love truth for truth's sake is the principal part of human perfection in this world, and the seed-plot of all other virtues.”
John Locke
“[W]hen people in power invent their own facts and attack those who question them, it can mark the beginning of the end of a free society. That is not hyperbole. It is what authoritarian regimes throughout history have done. They attempt to control reality. Not just our laws and our rights and our budgets, but our thoughts and beliefs.”
Hillary Clinton
“The President of the United States summoned this mob, assembled the mob, and lit the flame of this attack. Everything that followed was his doing. None of this would have happened without the President.”
Liz Cheney, R-Wyo.
“A wise man ought not to desire to inhabit that country where men have more authority than laws.”
Walter Raleigh
“There is no such thing as an achieved liberty; like electricity, there can be no substantial storage and it must be generated as it is enjoyed, or the lights go out.”
Robert H. Jackson
“Let us not mince words about what happened last week. It was a violent attempt to interrupt our democratic process. It was a targeted blow at the most essential process that makes us a democracy. It was direct, and specifically incited by the President of the United States. For years, we have been asked to turn a blind eye to the criminality, corruption and blatant disregard to the rule of law by the tyrant president we have in the White House. We, as a nation, can no longer look away. The president not only incited an insurrection against our government, but has in word and deed led a rebellion. We cannot simply move passed this or turn the page. For us to survive as a functioning democracy, there has to be accountability. We must impeach and remove this president from the office immediately so that he cannot be a threat to our democracy. I stand ready to fulfill my oath of office and I challenge my colleagues on the other side of the aisle to do the same.”
Rep. Ilhan Omar
“President Trump gravely endangered the security of the United States and its institutions of Government. He threatened the integrity of the democratic system, interfered with the peaceful transition of power, and imperiled a coequal branch of Government. He thereby betrayed his trust as President, to the manifest injury of the people of the United States.”
The United States House of Representatives

“[T]his president has committed an impeachable offense through his words on the sixth of January, and leading up to the sixth of January, when he was not honest to the American people about the election and the election results.”
“I believe this president violated his oath and I believe that there must be consequences.”
Senator Lisa Murkowski
“And let us be very very clear, at the essence of this crisis is the perpetration of this huge lie: that an election that Biden won by a fairly healthy majority--he ended up with seven million more votes than Trump--you have, not only Trump, but a lot of apologists for him, claiming that he really won, that Trump really won the election.”
Senator Bernie Sanders
To not become alarmed by Trump's reckless absurdities, his followers must first have been addled by a steady diet of totally absurd, totally insulting bullshit.
Hear pure Trumpery.
“President Trump was wrong. I had no right to overturn the election. And his reckless words endangered my family and everyone at the Capitol that day, and I know history will hold Donald Trump accountable.”
Mike Pence
“Make no mistake about it, what happened that day was a disgrace, and it mocks decency to portray it any other way.”
