Well, if people go read https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Lie then perhaps the light will start to shine in their minds.

<sarcasm>And what? You dare to question the absolute veracity of wikipedia? You will be sent to the Re-Education Camp immediately?</sarcasm>

<notsarcasm>Having to use the sarcasm tag means enough people are unable to recognize sarcasm. I blame the education system. It's a damn shame though.</notsarcasm>

The sentiment has value, but it feels misleading to need to back it up by aligning the idea with the Nazi Germany. (The closest quote by Goebbels appears to be about England rather than Germany, not sure if that makes it more or less relevant here)

Sarcasm is a word that has been so misused by Americans, that people have tried to actually re-write the definition. -the use of irony to mock or convey contempt - It does not mean 'joking'.
