On The Lies of Donald J. Trump
Jan. 23rd, 2017 01:49 pmGo read the whole thing, but I'm just going to quote this bit:
The conservative-media entertainment complex, of which Trump is the culmination, has made an art form of concocting absurd, up-is-the-new-down propositions, repeating them with jackhammering relentlessness, magnifying them in the echo chamber of right-wing media, and finally reifying them into conventional wisdom among the conservative faithful. Large percentages of the Republican base regard lies about death panels or Obama’s citizenship as axiomatic truths.
We're in for a rocky ride, folks.
