We (who know better) call Trump's whiny bitch "stolen election" mantra the BIG LIE.
But fact is, REPUBLICANS A CHOCK FULL OF MANY BIG LIES. Their cynical definition of "freedom" being one of the LARGEST:
The "Freedom" Billionaires and the GOP are Selling American is Deadly - Raw Story - Celebrating 18 Years of Independent Journalism
excerpt:
"The billionaires and their Republican puppets tell us that real freedom, in fact, means a small number of people being able to concentrate hundreds of billions of dollars in their own money bins while the children of one in seven American families today go to bed hungry.
America’s billionaires and their Republican puppets tell us that the real meaning of freedom is bigger tax cuts for billionaires and more deregulation, environmental poison, and poverty for everybody else.
It’s literally been their governing philosophy since the Reagan Revolution, and everything from Bush’s “Clear Skies Initiative” that empowered polluters, to Trump’s putting an oil lobbyist in charge of the EPA and a coal lobbyist in charge of our public lands at the Interior Department bears this out.
They’ve managed to convince millions of working-class Americans that freedom essentially means the “right” to die in debt, to remain uneducated, and to be hungry and even homeless while working crappy jobs at $7.25 an hour to make the morbidly rich even richer.
But it’s a lie."
