Lincoln: Truth Is Everything
Alan: Trump has now uttered more than 25,000 provably false or misleading statements -- stuff like 2+2=5. This astonishing tally amounts to more than 50 mendacious declarations a day - two per hour, 24 hours a day.
Democracy cannot survive this super-saturated matrix of falsehood.
(In the writing that follows, I encourage you to pay particularly close attention to the writings of Hannah Arendt, a 20th century intellectual titan.)
"Trump Is A Traitor By Virtue Of Normalizing Falsehood And Teaching Americans To Do The Same"
Trump Cultists have learned their lesson well:
Alan: During my 1950s' childhood, any weirdo-relative living in an in-law apartment would have become a candidate for "insane asylum committal" as soon as s/he started spewing the kind of lunatic ideation that consumes Trump Cult, a coven of crazies who subscribe to QAnon, a new secular religion with its own messiah (i.e., Donald Trump) and its own resurrection (i.e., John Kennedy Jr. is not dead).
And that's just the beginning.
Tom Hanks, Oprah Winfrey and Hillary Clinton are members of a vast Hollywood (and Democratic Party) cabal who operate a massive sex slave trade that also kills children to cannibalize them in Satanic blood rituals.
