The one belief that predicted Trump voters with scary accuracy

Raw Story

Donald Trump campaigned against consensual reality and won. But the problem goes deeper than that: You also have to look at the conspiracist mindset that says the mainstream media is the enemy of the people, the government is controlled by the Deep State, and scientists are on the take, because it’s what makes people turn away from consensual reality.

Opinion: Donald Trump’s Increasingly Apocalyptic Campaign

Letters to the Editor: Does divestment work, or is it just protesters trying to ‘do something’?

LA Times

To the editor: Divestment is a delusion.
