Just make it so normal that people accept it.

And for others they can say “he’s joking, like he was always joking”

      Basically he’s been publicly accused of being a fascist (he is) and a wannabe dictator (he is) so many times in the media, that it’s starting to lose all meaning. He knows that if you repeat a lie enough times it becomes the new truth, so he’s just word salading his way through to next November. None of his supporters care, and nobody who has been anti-Trump is surprised.

      Sean Hannity: “You’re not going to be a dictator, are you?”

      Donald Trump: " No, no no, other than day 1."

      I honestly wish it was as hands down as that. What he said appeals to exactly the kind of people it was directed at…and there are so SO many of those people out there. Majority? I don’t know; and that in itself is a problem…it should be absolutely obvious that a significant majority of people aren’t aligned with him. But its not.

      I’ll betcha this ends up working to his advantage somehow.

      fucking depressed myself with my own comment. I’m going to go take an Ace Ventura style shower

      I mean no offense but, how old are you? I’m trying to figure out how one could still have that much faith in the US voting population.

      Yes, and the strategy is basically: the courts/activists/army didn’t let me do what I needed to do, so I’ll have to extend my dictatorship until it’s sorted. Then it never gets sorted.
