Of course!

The make-believe begins with the way fundamentalists believe in their bizarre and unnatural god. It continues through the supply side theory of how economies work and employs magic asterisks to assume extra growth.

Is it any wonder that they believe Trump the con man? It's how they are trained.

"White evangelicals grew up on a theology that trains people to be those who can’t tell the difference between reality and make-believe. They then opt for make-believe again and again because fantasy is kinder and more malleable than reality. No wonder they embraced Trump’s lies.

White evangelical Trump supporters are now addicted to their ignorance, doubling and tripling down on it, digging in their heels, unwilling to surrender their inner fantasy-land and clinging to fantastical certainties utterly unarmored from any verifiable reality."

I know the poor old Republican voters have been told repeatedly that the Dems abuse their authority and lie all the time.

But it must be humiliating to learn that the president lies about everything: his health; his payments to porn stars; the extent of his wealth. It's a kinda granular thing. He lies about everything. He does it wantonly and fluently.

Now revisit the presumption that the Dems lie all the time.

No. They don't. Trump has brought his methods to Fox. And Fox's methods are used by Trump. If you have fallen for the notion that the Dems are lying, you are Trump's and Fox's target.

I suspect the folks who watch Fox News and listen to Limbaugh are in too deep to admit they have been duped. But sadly, they have.
