Lying is the message.

The goal is to assert power over truth itself.

"Nationalism is not to be confused with patriotism...By ‘patriotism’ I mean devotion to a particular place and a particular way of life, which one believes to be the best in the world but has no wish to force on other people. Patriotism is of its nature defensive, both militarily and culturally. Nationalism, on the other hand, is inseparable from the desire for power. The abiding purpose of every nationalist is to secure more power and more prestige, not for himself but for the nation or other unit in which he has chosen to sink his own individuality."

There doesnt seem to be any repercussions for trump.

Now they say Trump GOP support is out almost like it is for Dems.

The only problem should be the size of the GOP is far smaller.

We will see in a couple weeks

If Americans want this lying and cheating then they will vote for it. PERIOD.

The voters will get what they want.
