There's that old quotation people attribute to Voltaire, perhaps rightly: "If I can make you believe the impossible, I can make you do the unthinkable." To my mind, that may do something to explain recent GOP voting patterns - for instance, 85% of Alabama's white evangelicals voting for Roy Moore. As they did. My own theory is that Trump came into office insisting on his gibberish inaugural crowd theory because his lizard brain knew what that would do to his supporters' minds - i.e., turn them to mush. Lying eyes, as a poem of mine said a while back. Hence also the daily spoon-fed diet of self-evident falsehoods. It reflects an agenda, and in that, it is evil.
Cheers,
John
