I think we have reached a watershed. From now on the road gets bumpy.
I have been thinking about the similarities and differences between the investigations into Trump and Hillary. It is hard to imagine the Dems reacting like Trump is - straight out lies.
Let's look at Benghazi and Yemen. Some guys died in Benghazi and Hillary was in charge of the State Department. Her sin was that somebody tried to spin an attack that had already happened. Spicy does worse every goddam day. So because of this unfortunate spin; "Hillary Lied - People Died" took off and played a part in the "narrative" far in excess of its significance. But the dumb-ass spin that was put on the attack in Benghazi got dropped pretty quickly because it was bullshit.
Now look at Yemen. First off, it was Trump who took the decision to make a big deal about how productive it was during his speech. The next day, sources come forward and admit that no useful information came from the raid. Trump disavowed the raid and claims that it was the fault of the Obama administration. Then his admin releases a statement saying that the raid has resulted in hundreds of new ISIS members. So which is it? Is this Trump's raid or Obama's? Was it successful or was it not? The fact of the matter is, he will not take responsibility for anything and there is no lie he will ever admit to. He knows that he can just get away with sticking to it without any real repercussions. He is all over the place on it because he knows it just doesn't matter to his supporters. All that matters is complicating the issue beyond the typical Trump supporters ability to understand it. I think most of you will agree - this is pretty easy.
Another noticeable factor is that his supporters are so bad at math that they do not understand "per capita". For example, if you say that three people have been killed by illegal aliens, they will go nuts. If you show them that the rate of killings by illegals is about half the rate of naturalized citizens, they will look at you dumbly without comprehension and bring up the families of those three poor souls.
My mind is boggling at the way the standards have changed. If the Democrats used the tactics that Trump is using they would immediately lose support. But not Trump, no siree. They will start to chant... and throb. Their immunity to lies has been so broken down that they will and do believe anything.
Picture Hillary saying some of this shit at a rally. The crowd would fall silent and start to murmur. People would head for the doors. Now think of a Trump rally. Their is literally nothing he can say stupid enough to lose these people.
He's not out of his mind. This is a gambit. We are the end game. Hard rain gonna fall.
