Well, we’ve all done it.
We are trying to think for a good way of summing up a political position, strugling to find the few words that best describe the truth of a matter, then, of course!
WWHS?: What Would Hitler Say?
According to Hitler the big lie was perpetrated by Jews and Marxists. The big lie was that Ludendorff (effectively the real power in Germany at end of WW1) was resposible for the defeat of Germany. Of course Hitler says it was the Jews and Marxists that stabbed Germany in the back.
When you accuse your political enemies of perpetrating the big lie are not condeming them as ‘like Hitler’ in some way. You are simply using the same description of your poltical enemies that Hitler used for his political enemies. And that is not a good look.
