In reply to the discussion: Trump pissed off AARP, he's toast with his budget..... [View all]MiddleClass
(888 posts)29. Talk radio, Fox news, on a continuous 24 hour loop.
Politics is a strange addiction, identity politics, and you can throw out any requirement of logic.
I must admit, Donald Trump tapped into something that's going on, some kind of groupthink where facts are fake news and alternative facts are real news. I haven't got my head around what the hell is going on, yet! It's like a computer virus for the brain.
I got the same issue of fake news with my elderly mother, it goes on a trip with the senior mafia for a few days and comes back. "Everything Democrats say about Donald Trump is nothing but fake news" she didn't even support or vote for him in the election.
"I don't listen to Fox news." The next breath, "did you hear what Sean said last night." Say what?
