John Milton wrote in 1644 "Whoever knew truth to come out the worse in a free and open encounter". Unfortunately, something unprecedented has happened. It's not only the Big Lie, but a web of lies that is followed by a growing segment of the electorate. I regularly listen to two radio stations in New York City that promote the web of lies (WABC & WOR). Their loyal listeners are true believers, just like the Republican Party, which sings in one voice, like the Red Army Choir. Putin has his own web of lies, but his support is often explained as a result of the tragic and totalitarian history of Russia. US political traditions were supposed to prevent a Trump victory, but looks like he is destined to enjoy not a victory, but a triumph.
