But just by believing it, they're becoming even more detached from reality as it truly is, and more invested in the narratives they're fed.
Trump is, if nothing else, a successful *cekebrity* (not business man, not philanthropist, not politician). He knows how to spin and how tease useful narratives out of shit situations. And I don't trust the American people enough to believe that they'll see that all Trump is offering them is MORE of what he claims he wants to fight. He's betting on people not being able to make that connection.
