We're drowning in a sea of lies, and people who should know better have chosen to ignore and even promote the lies, because they worship and adore the boy who "speaks his mind".
They love the man-child who lies to their face every day.
They love the one who believes that the laws of the country he wishes to "lead" do not apply to him, and he has proven it time and time again by doing whatever he wants, breaking any laws he chooses, and getting away with it.
I brook no part of this delusion.
Oh, I think I get what goes on with them.
What they WANT isn't "truth" or even "factuality". They're basically racists or jingos or scofflaws or misogynists or just assholes who want someone in charge who'll tell 'em they're outstanding and they should just go and get their bad selves on.
@mcfate I agree that must be true for many, especially GOP peers who once railed against him, and who now suckle in the hope of obtaining/retaining power.
My comment was aimed at a friend and the group to which she belongs. She is an ardent believer who knows better. She has a great brain but has forgotten (or denied?) the basic tenets of her belief system.
Like so many others, she now wallows in the muck and darkness, trading her soul for a love of the man of lawlessness.
It's killing me.
