Facism works folks. You sell the idea that “other” people are the root cause of your problems, and the pieces almost fall into place

Because he knows his stupid fucking followers will believe anything

His followers will never care.

Because it doesn’t matter? It’s the old “a president I’d like to have a beer with” problem.

You can pretend as much as you’d like that the democratic process is tethered to rationale, but at the end of the day the whole system is set up to be a dog and pony show.

It’s always been a glorified popularity contest and has nothing to do with meritocracy, i.e judging cases upon the merits and demerits.

The problem imho is usability. The system has been shaped to be a popularity contest, but it could very well be shaped into something else.

Because roughly half the country believes what he says. If it affirms their worldview (usually hatred of some “other”), then they are happy to take it on face value.

Because we have blatantly partisan media companies willing to parrot his lies and unwilling to challenge even the most harmful of them.

Because our two party system makes nearly everything a political issue that is supported by one party or the other, and voters have to choose between the lesser of two evils (whatever that means to that voter) than vote for someone who better represents their actual world view.

Because he is rich. Because he is privileged. Because he has never been made to actually face the consequences of intentionally lying to everyone.

Read “The Startling Accuracy of Referring to Politicians as ‘Psychopaths’” from The Atlantic, of all sources. It’s from 2012 and refers to personalities like Romney and Obama.

As a narcissist he likes to see his name in the headlines in liberals love nothing more than to talk about him. The only way to shut up a narcissist is to quit giving them the attention that they’re seeking.

It’s one of many ways he shows contempt for civilized society. And the system is so rotten that it doesn’t hold him accountable.

What do you mean? He just said he always tells the truth. 🤷‍♀️

I believe you mean “alternative facts”? Just like I have an “alternative sandwich”, and an “alternative sky”, and an “alternative reality”. All of these are better and more convenient than the real thing.

Because he is a low value person with no integrity.
