It’s now all fiction. Donald Trump destroyed reality
SalonRepublicans are openly proud of their lies — but our disdain for the truth is bipartisan Nobody’s making it easy for anyone these days. Or, if you prefer the Hee Haw version, it’s “Gloom, Despair and Agony on Me,” with Trump, Sanders, JD Vance and House Speaker Mike Johnson subbing in for Grandpa Jones, Gordie Tapp, Roy Clark and Archie Campbell. It’s all a fiction, and Donald Trump uses it to try and manufacture a reality in his own head – then he tries to force the rest of us into accepting his solipsistic fictional universe as reality. It is why Fox News reporter Peter Doocy can chastise the White House for calling Donald Trump a threat to democracy – when Trump’s own words have done that. Like a character out of a Lou Reed song Trump has spent his lifetime saying, and in some cases placing ads preaching that we should give him our hungry, tired and poor so he could “piss on ‘em.” Well, that’s what the Statue of Bigotry says.
