It seems that even large portions of society can often be swept away in deceit. Believing a lie is something many, if not a large percentage of a population, can be pulled into. It may be societies single largest "Achillies Heel".
The first lie in at the exit of WW1 was that it was the Jew's fall that Germany lost the war.
Trump's big lie, that he in fact did not loose the 2020 elections.
Getting society to line up behind a lie seems just too easy. Why is this?
