It is amusing...and you and I are on different sides of the aisle normally but the posters on here do not act like conservative Republicans in anyway.

The closest comparison is a book I just am near finishing.."The Untold Story of the Rev. Jim Jones....."

It has all the same attributes.

An immoral leader. A message that anyone is not firmly in our group is against us. An unabashed hatred for any media. The ability to lie quickly and convincingly and then to "suggest" to followers that THEY are the ones being "screwed over".

A leader who preaches one thing and does the other and does it openly with no fear of any follower questioning him. A leader who tapped into the fears of americans but he did it in the 60's. A leader who cut his followers off from outsiders and best he could from any media.

It is from this sad story we get the expression "drink the kool aid" and in no way does my analogies dismiss any good ideas Trump has, and he does as I have acknowledged a number of times, nor does it diminish his followers.

It does allow for the techniques he uses however. He attacks the media for no reason at all , OR just because they do not agree 100% with him. He says he is indebted to nobody, yet we do not now that and each day it becomes more of a suspicious lie.

It relates to your post, because his followers refuse to accept fact as you pointed out.

Government needs changes, but this man is so much the exact opposite of what this country needs. He is a man who will say whatever the last person he was with said to him and as Carl Bernsteins, who knows quite a bit about Presidents who live in a false reality, said recently...."“Trump lives and thrives in a fact-free environment. No president, including Richard Nixon, has been so ignorant of fact and disdains fact in the way that this president-elect does,”

And further adds...."“It has something to do with the growing sense of authoritarianism that he and his presidency are projecting and the danger of it is obvious and he’s trying to make the conduct of the press an issue not his own conduct.”
