My dad loved to read Louis L’Amour. He read more books than anybody I have ever met. Only read nonfiction in his later years.

I understand the instinct. Repetition shaping belief isn’t a new idea.

But you don’t need to reach for 1930s Germany to see what’s happening.

You can see it in real time.

When accusations are repeated as certainty—day after day, year after year—

some people stop hearing them as claims.

They hear them as facts.

And once that shift happens, everything else becomes easier.

“A lie told once remains a lie but a lie told a thousand times becomes the truth.”

Your analysis of this manifesto is insightful and truly frightening. How many more twisted individuals like this are out there. Allen’s own congressman Ted Lieu is guilty of spewing slanderous accusations against the president. Haven’t a peep from that creep.
