A lie told often enough becomes the truth,”
when you hear anything, a lie or something true over and over, you will believe it because that’s what you have been hearing.

Yes. I think it means that if enough people hear a lie told convincingly enough, they will come to believe it, and so they will repeat it, thinking what they are saying is true. And so on, and so on.

A "lie told often enough becomes the truth," not only through repetition, but the fact that it is going unchallenged, lends it a certain weight of authority. We instinctively feel that if a statement is challenged, that it must not be something whose validity can be accepted, without allowing for some room for doubt. When a statement goes unchallenged, then we feel that it must be true, or someone who knows/believes differently would have challenged it.

It certainly seems so to most politicians, but the truth is the truth, no matter how many believe the lies.
