"How Sad It Must Be For Trump Supporters To Believe That Scientists, Scholars, Teachers And Journalists Have Devoted Their Entire Lives To Deceiving You, While A Reality TV Star With Decades Of Fraud And Documented Lying Is Your Only Beacon Of Truth And Honesty" 

Lincoln: Truth Is Everything

Exactly 3 Years Into His Presidency, Trump Had Lied To The American People 16,241 Times There Are Not That Many Visible Stars On A Perfectly | made w/ Imgflip meme maker

Alan: During his four years in office, Donald Trump uttered 30,573 provably false or misleading statements -- stuff like 2+2=5. 

This bewildering tally amounts to more than 50 mendacious declarations a day - seven falsehoods per hour if we posit an 8 hour work 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's Long History Of Inciting Violence And The Deadly Outcome Of His Inflammatory Rhetoric"


Here is where American conservatives ran off the rails.

"There are two ways of lying, as there are two ways of deceiving customers. If the scale registers 15 ounces, you can say: 'It's a pound.' Your lie will remain relative to an invariable measure of the true. If customers check it, they can see that they are being robbed, and you know by how much you are robbing them: a truth remains as a judge between you. But if the demon induces you to tamper with the scale itself, it is the criterion of the true which is denatured, there is no longer any possible control. And little by little you will forget that you are cheating." 
Denis de Rougemont

Earlier Today, I Heard A Trump Supporter Say: "You Don't Know What To Believe." Once Trump Gets You To Throw Up Your Hands, You Won't Be Able To Determine What's True. Instead, You'll Be More Willing To Accept Lies As Truth. This Is Why Trump Lies So Much And Says "Who Knows? We'll See" So Often. Hannah Arendt Has The Details
