"A big lie (German: große Lüge; often the big lie) is a propaganda technique used for political purpose, defined as 'a gross distortion or misrepresentation of the facts, especially when used as a propaganda device by a politician or official body'.[1] The German expression was coined by Adolf Hitler, when he dictated his 1925 book Mein Kampf, to describe the use of a lie so 'colossal' that no one would believe that someone 'could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously'.
"In the 21st century, the term was applied to Donald Trump's effort to discredit the results of the 2020 United States presidential election. 'The big lie' in this instance was the false claim that the election was stolen from him through massive fraud."
