The list of falsehoods and conspiracy theories Trump has purveyed is staggering. Trump's reality is a delusion that is sustained by the rampant propaganda of bizarre right wing websites. Not only is Trump a victim of blatant propaganda, conspiracy theories and lies, he is a purveyor of it. This is how dictators such as Duterte and others gain power. "Great minds think alike" or in this case, terribly corrupted narcisstic delusional minds think alike.
The delusions of the right wing and misunderstandings of reality is due to a lack of critical thinking and confirmation bias that runs rampant in an increasingly complex world.
It's easy for non-thinking know nothings to misrepresent things when you dont understand them. They characterize and frame a straw-man representation, to argue against something ridiculous. This happens constantly, because thinking is very hard in a complex world. Science is beyond simple truths that water freezes at 32 degrees, its beyond what the average person can even fathom let alone begin to understand.
So understand it they wont, because science and knowledge of the world reduces the fiction of religion at a steady pace. Science doesnt care what you believe.
As far as the delusions of the right wing, the rise of propagandistic social media and fake news has erupted and enthralled Trump support supporters, because they want to believe it. This causes them to have conflict with reality. "Alternative facts", they claim, and conspiracy theories are created to rationalize their idiotic perception of reality based on whatever picture with 4 words that their dimwitted cousin shared on Facebook.
So justifiably "true" news becomes "fake news". Ignorance becomes strength. They are in too deep and these delusions that millions of illegals voted, that Obama tapped Trump Tower, that Hilary sold Uranium to the Russians must persist for them, or their entire world view will become shattered. Psychology tells us the brain wont allow that. The decay will be gradual. until then, there will be serious damage to the United States of America and its institutions of knowledge and justice.
We can analyze what's happening and we can call a spade a spade, regardless of how bizarre it has become. These are dangerous and interesting times, and we the people need cogent explanations of just how disastrous this administration is.
Because the news is slamming her down our throats, its hard to ignore. It's interesting to see how they get her on camera and catch her falling apart a little and egged her on. Seems she's fallen out of favor with the left media.Not sure why Trump supporters care so much about what Hilary has to say. The more you guys talk about it, the more she becomes relevant again.

I don't know about Fox News, I only have CNN. It was on today too. I don't see it on Drudge, but he's not right wing anyway.Thats interesting, has Fox News become part of the left media?
