Get the Summary of Jonathan Lemire's The Big Lie in 20 minutes. Please note: This is a summary & not the original book. Original book introduction: Jonathan Lemire uncovers that âThe Big Lie,â as itâs been termed, isnât just about the 2020 election. It's become a political philosophy that has only further divided the two parties. Donald Trump first tried it out in 2016, at an August rally in Ohio. He said that perhaps he wouldnât accept the election results in his race against Hillary Clinton, that the election was ârigged.â He didnât have to challenge the result that year, but the stage was set. When he lost in 2020, he started the lie back up again and to devastating results: an insurrection at the Capitol in January 2021. In the more than five tumultuous, paradigm-shifting years of Donald Trumpâs presidency and beyond, his near-constant lying has become a fixture of political life. It is inextricably linked with how his party behaves, how the Democrats respond to it, and how he remains relevant, even after a decisive loss in 2020. Jonathan Lemire brings his connections, profile, and dogged reportorial instincts to bear in his first book that explores how this phenomenon shapes our politics.
