Chris Hedges, columnist for Truthdig, has a column that is a must read for all who are wondering why we’re descending into Trumplandia and what we can do to resist.
I’ve noted before that liars like Trump are believed because their lies offer something the believer something they want.
Unless we progressives are willing to listen to them and then find ways to offer them solutions that they can accept as meaningful and realistic, we will find ourselves watching Putin’s Pussy-grabbing puppet grow stronger and more popular. For he will continue to feed their fears and their sense of helplessness and hopelessness and despair with lies.
