Trump's "trolling" serves a purpose

[JHan]

To destroy truth and "fact" and ,to paraphrase HRC ,"Create his own reality"

""When politics becomes fundamentally unreal, the nature of political decision-making changes. Everything is fiction, so voters can only choose the fiction that best suits their taste and aligns with their self-image. Thus politics becomes devoured entirely by personal aesthetics. It’s the final triumph of what Carl Schmitt called political romanticism, or what Christopher Lasch might call political narcissism: politics as self-expression and nothing else.

It’s no coincidence that authoritarians are the driving force behind this development. The suspension of reality lends itself to authoritarian politics because it makes liberal democracy impossible. Without any sort of fixed reality, we have no shared reference point we can use for political deliberation; and when my policy preferences are rooted entirely in what I conceive of as my self, there is no room for compromise.""

5. Yes I know

But he is making all those that didn't vote for him hate him more. He will have to lock us all up at some point. I welcome the disobedience. Can you imagine summer? It's gonna be fun to see if America holds.

7. It's a depressing reality..

I'm wondering how you counter it, it seems this is where politics is headed anyway.
