    What happened was, for the GOP, all their propaganda was made for the plebs. They knew it was all bullshit.

    However after a generation you get a bunch of true believers whom were raised on Fox News and AM radio, and this is what happens.

    Trump for example was never “in on” the propaganda, he was just a boring asshole that only watched Fox News and underage beauty pageants. So of course he’s a true believer. It’s also the reason why he resonates with his “base” because he literally talks like them on Facebook. Word for word sounded like some of my distant “kinfolk” and one of the reasons why I ditched Facebook. It’s literally “he’s like me frfr” except everything that matters ie rich, coastal elite.

    The only way to get his cult to back off would be if he said he was a Democrat now.

      Trump doesn’t believe in anything except himself. He threw out the ‘Mexico will pay for the Wall’ in a speech and when the crowd reacted, he repeated it.
