thats what dementing is, when you simply assume youre the only person making sense and all the people warning you not to pull the trigger are wrong.
Was there ever a period of his life where Trump wasn’t like that? He seems to have lived in and created his own alternate reality always. All the pseudonyms like John Miller and David Dennison calling editors to talk about how great Trump is. His weird referring to himself in the third person shit.
He plays in this time because there is a disturbing amount of incredibly dumb people who are just as absolutely convinced as he is that they are experts on everything from medicine to food additives to whatever else they are being spoon fed. I know probably a dozen alcoholic smokers who spend their days talking about food additives and the government trying to kill them with food as they light up another Newport and crack their twelfth beer. Earth is flat. Cigarettes and beer won’t kill you, but drinking a prime electrolyte drink will because it has this or that in it. Just a cacophony of stupid echoing around me. Yes, don’t eat shitty food, but it’s become pseudo religion for people who smoke all day.
I never doubt the rust belt swing state polls. I constantly witness malignant idiocy every day from multi-field experts who were literally borderline special Ed students.
