Great question...
"New research on Trump voters: They're not the sharpest tools in the box." (Any reader of these boards already knows this!)
"Now there's proof: Trump's voters lack cognitive sophistication, and often believe Bible is literal word of God."
"Conservatives now inhabit their own self-created media echo chamber, which functions as a type of lie-filled and toxic closed episteme and sealed-off universe. The creation of such an alternate reality is an important attribute of fascism, in which truth itself must be destroyed and replaced with fantasies and fictions in support of the leader and his movement."

Yes. I think 1984 should be required reading in school.
We see such things in state-controlled media, like DPRK. The former USSR (and, now, to some extent present-day Russia), and some others, also utilized it. I find it fascinating -and a bit scary- that this is happening without a state player. People are doing it to themselves. Murdoch recognized a demand for "news" that favored right-wing ideology, and he provided it. Didn't matter if it was true. It was very cynical of him, but also brilliant in a nihilistic way. And very lucrative. But Murdoch just exploited it. The people were already there, evidently primed to be lied to as long as it was lies they wanted to hear.
Which is somewhat akin to 1920s-1940s Germany...the German people were told what they wanted to hear, and they ate it up. A devastating depression in Germany made worse with reparations from WWI didn't help. This one party told them it wasn't their fault, it was "the other" (mostly Jews). That party never got more than about 32% support in elections, but we all know what happened even with that minority support.

Today in stupiville...
Trump stock down another -4% in premarket.
Has any other President ever scammed so many Americans?
Imagine if Biden took a money losing, steaming pile of @#$% company public?
Trump CEO, Devin Nunes is doing well despite the company's struggles...
"Nunes made $750,000 in base salary last year which was bumped to a solid $1 million this year. Along with a grant of 115,000 shares of stock in the company worth approximately $4.6 million,
Nunes is also in line for a hefty bonus for sticking around after the massive 2023 losses."
Lose $$ get a bonus...The art of the steal!

You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time. Abraham Lincoln
To which we can now add the Trump corollary: "But you can fool all of the MAGAs all of the time."

I think people are counting on Trump winning, because then this avenue for bribery will really pop as "advertisers" flock to bribe the convicted felon.

Maybe they should change the symbol from DJT to SCAM?
Billionaire media mogul Barry Diller summed it up perfectly saying,
"Trump Media is a scam stock bought by dopes."
How many "dopes" here are shareholders? Too embarrassed to admit it? I understand.

Mr. Market is thumbing his nose at the RNC/MAGA 2024 platform, which is simply this: Trump will do something (maybe) about the southern border that he has forcibly kept wide-open.
