@walterbays And the article talks all about Trump, fueling the polarization.
That is a very interesting synopsis of fake prez trump and I agree with it!
@Chippe , How can he be so popular? Tribal instinct. How I wish we could use all that instinct on our sports teams instead!
Trump's genius was in recognizing how this primitive instinct could propel him to power and riches, and how to speak so effectively to that resentment and hatred, even while devoid of any policy, nor even any coherent thought.
