It is time to stop fighting the losing battle against the Big Lie. The best weapons in a battle against misinformation used to be truth and evidence, but when you are debating with someone that does not accept objective reality, even reason and logic will fail to work.
That is why I say we should just lean into the Big Lie. When faced with reality grounded in simple math and concrete evidence, give in to fantasy. Give in to a world where anyone you want to be can be president based solely on your loudly shared opinion. The possibilities are endless. It is a place where Kanye West is president and the only thing keeping him from filling his cabinet with Kardashians is rampant election fraud.
In my freshly minted reality, my dog is the true president of the United States. The only reason he has not yet been inaugurated is that ballot stuffing Chinese squirrels voted illegally.
Don’t believe me? Well, I do not care. I have exactly the same amount of evidence of this massive fraud as everyone else promoting the Big Lie.
