I don’t think I care to understand how trump thinks, it’s a black hole of lies, cruelty, and fear. I hope that some day he suffers as much as everyone else he’s affected.

2. I sure agree, but it doesn't seem to matter to Trump

How many times have we seen him vehemently deny something that we've seen him say or do on TV news?? He seems completely incapable of realizing that pretty much everything he says or does is recorded and has been seen by the American public!

The scary thing is that he has his own "State TV," and the idiots that get their "news" from there actually believe the lies that they're hearing! That has got to be one of the changes that is essential to take this country back - getting rid of propaganda from FOX News and hate radio.

That's always been the problem.. The bullshit that spews from faux noise that the base believes as truth.. How do you combat that? Hearts and minds? They just hate liberals and what liberals stand for. They would vote for the devil if he ran on a anti liberal platform....

6. The problem is that there are folks out there that just think of it as actual "news"

It's not just the "haters" and fanatics. During the 2018 primaries, I was having a conversation with a colleague who had a meetup for one of the Democratic congressional candidates at her house when a couple of women I've always been friendly with started a conversation of their own - agreeing that they both watch FOX News! And they're hardly political, both are concerned with their families and one of them is active in her synagogue, but they think that they're keeping up on the news...
