Pic Of The Moment: Trump Succeeding By Telling Republicans Exactly What They Want To Hear: Bullshit

[Bucky]

23. The saddest part isn't that lying works, but that the types of lies so many want to hear

This is still a democracy, after all. Trump is getting away with all his lies because this is the type of thing millions of Americans want to hear. The supply and demand of lies in the market are perfectly balanced here. He's a savvy enough business person (or at least savvy enough huckster) to know that absolutely hateful bullshit will get him perilously close to the Republican nomination.

What has acculturated so many Americans into wanting to be told the ugly lies that the Donald is spewing?

I'm still pretty sure he won't end up with the nomination, by the way. Hucksters always burn out in the spotlight. At some point all the gullible chumps giving Trump their support are going to realize he hates them as much as he hates the immigrants & minorities & grown ups running the government that he's getting the Republican rank and file all riled up about.
