I've heard that Big Lie works because normal people tell lies, but they're usually within some degree of the truth. They wouldn't tell lies that are 100% the opposite of the truth - brazenly - because that's just not how they think.
Like I can imagine lying about almost anything about why I was late for work. But I wouldn't claim my boss came to my house and let the air out of my tires to make me late this morning. Not unless I actually thought it was true. Lying about that just seems - like a bad idea wrapped in a terrible coating.
For someone who's a bit of a psychopath and understands how social media works, that's right where they go.
