More Description

When it comes to the right's enormous, billionaire-funded misinformation machine, the book BATTLING THE BIG LIE examines how it managed to distort reality and almost steal the 2020 election. An insider's view of the right-wing media machinery is presented in this book, which details how it works, where it originated from, and what progressives can do to counteract it.

For decades, the right-wing has established a large media organization that uses disinformation and conspiracy theories to achieve political goals. The "MAGA Megaphone" embodied by Fox News and fed by Facebook is waging war on the basic concept of objective truth--and they are winning. Donald Trump was able to win the 2016 presidential election on the strength of a misinformation campaign, and he nearly won again in 2020. It is because of this that the United States is unable to handle issues like COVID-19 and climate change.

Republicans' key political techniques include cultural war complaints, nutty conspiracy theories, and downright evil propaganda, as explained in this study guide.
Republican tactics to spread mistrust while leveraging media prejudices and Democratic Party blind spots, from Roger Ailes to Steve Bannon and Donald Trump.
Maximizing the reach of pro-Trump content on social media is key.
Inspiring the Left to put down their pearls and start "fighting fire with fire," as the saying goes.
Internet trolls that propagate misinformation and hatred should be dealt with.
Sharing an accurate view of the world is essential for the success of any democratic system. Because one of the two parties in our two-party system regards truth, facts, and science as their opponent, the United States is on the verge of collapse. It's a call to arms for everybody who cares about truth and democracy to get involved in BATTLING THE BIG LIE! However, there are no simple solutions or fast remedies.
