Um.
When I say that people are not stupid enough to believe Trump's lies, it's not because I'm naive or have "faith" in human nature.
It's because most of his supporters KNOW he's lying.
Scholars have done work on this. I'm not making it up.

Exactly. I glanced through my mentions and was amused by how many people informed me that I am "criminally naive."
It seems to me that naive would be believing that Trump supporters just need to hear the truth.
Nope. They get it. It's what they want.

One scholar who I didn't quote in my article was Hannah Arendt, who described the same thing in The Origins of Totalitarianism.
Trump supporters either:
🔹know he's lying or
🔹don't care if he's lying because they're getting what they want.
