|content=Trump’s style of metahonesty is however very dangerous. I wrote about this in a 2011 essay I frequently reference on the theory of [[Kayfabe]] which I anticipated would take over as boomers were forced to deal w/ the cognitive aftermath of the Great Recession: https://www.edge.org/response-detail/11783

|content=When I saw this sign in SF’s Castro district, I thought of my friend @SamHarrisOrg and my struggle to explain to him in early 2017 why people trust @realDonaldTrump when he is not truthful.

Trump is like the guy who added the last line on the sign when Clinton &amp; Bush would not.

|content=So go vote America. All I ask, is that when given any opportunity to do so, use it to reject Utopianism on Right or Left. What we were given as custodians is so much better than moronic utopian experiments that always end in dystopia. Let's not mess this up. #lovethisgreatcountry

Want to know how @realDonaldTrump won? By giving people who intuit that the institutional commentariat has played them every election, the chance to finally order *anything* taken completely off the US menu.

|content=@Ramsey_Payne I don’t think he loves the tragedy. I think he loves the fact that *if* there is a tragedy, *then* he can exploit it. He does this by telling a mixture of simplistic lies and truths together, and sticking it to his adversaries who don’t expect it because it’s such a dick move.

|content=You just love this, don’t you? People are dead. Homes torched. The state is on fire. The air here is choked with smoke.

So this. Because, nobody else gets why this works?

I mean, I get it. But whatever you got for this, isn’t worth it. There’s no prize worth winning this way.

|content=@SquawkieEagle Thx. This president says many things that *do* need to be said, but in ways that are opportunistic, simplistic, cruel, distorted, insensitive, incendiary and hyperbolic. Some are angry that he’s a bad liar, but I often think he’s really at his absolute worst as a truth teller.
