This… All of it, all true. But does lying and fear-mongering have anything to do with this as well? It seems as if a very small percentage of people actually believe or want to hear truth, but everybody gets sucked into the lies. Egg prices are still not a problem. Nor is gas. Stocks haven’t crashed….

People get sucked into the lies because most of them want to have an excuse for voting the way they vote. The people who voted for Trump and republicans voted for them because they wanted to vote for them. They just want excuses to justify voting for people they know are horrible people.

Yeah, and then howl wolf when voters remorse hits. And it’s coming. Much of Trump and Mistress Elect Leon’s agenda will hurt the poorest/less fortunate which is a large part of the folks who voted for him. It’s beyond wild to me that EVERYONE can’t/didn’t see through the proposed crazy that looks to come down the pipe.
