A point that never seems to be part of political analysis discussions is the fact that lying - and I mean egregious, slimy salesman-style lying - is what persuaded a frighteningly large percentage of what I now call The Gullibles" into voting for such an awful person.

Facts don't matter to The Gullibles, reality is what they are gaslighted into believing.

How do reasonable and ethical people (by comparison - not implying that Dems are without warts) prevail in a world where outrageous lying rules, and lots of people believe those lies?


You never change things by fighting the existing reality.
To change something, build a new model that makes the old model obsolete.
