8. It won't matter!

Catch him in a blatant lie and it won’t matter to the Reich-wingers. At all! They will just say, “But the Democrats...”, or “that’s fake news put out by the deep state”....

It just doesn’t matter!!!

Frank Bruni had a great column last Saturday (25th), and what caught my eye was his comments on the “power of the liar.” Bruno’s closing paragraphs:

”So while this election is indeed a contest between two men with two visions, it’s also something else. It’s the tallest tale Trump has ever scaled, the greatest story ever told. It’s a referendum on the reaches of his persuasion. It’s a judgment of the depths of Americans’ gullibility.

Have we cut the cord to reality? Then Trump has a chance. And America hasn’t a prayer.”

If America doesn’t stop being gullible, and rationalizing away the horror that is Trump, it’s over.
