    You do if you want to steal said car and then turn around and tell everyone that it was actually yours to begin with

    We know its a lie. He knows it’s a lie. Probably even the idiots who vote for him know its a lie. But if you say a lie enough times and people don’t tell you to fuck off, it becomes the truth.

    The same way that people are taught that the american civil war was fought for states rights, not slavery, when we know that most of the states seceded because of slavery

      No because it that situation you still did the thing, here he’s just playing about prosperity gospel shit where of you just believe it’ll happen.

      It doesn’t though, that only works on very specific things that aren’t as easily disproven by something like the existence of an entire country.

      No one is taught that in school, parents say that shit.

        Man Palestine was an entire country up until 1947 and now you find people.saying that it never existed and was always Israeli land.

        These lies do work, and they are used as justification after the fact. Again, very similar to how Putin also said Ukraine wasn’t really a country and was part of Russia.

          Well no. Mandatory Palestine which specifically was not a country… Wasn’t a country.

          It’s an effective lie because it includes hints of truth.
