It's vital that the media stops treating this like a rational administration...

We are playing into Trump's hands. Every time Trump makes some ridulous remark, says some outlandish lie we and the media have been parroting back the facts. It's time we stopped doing that because these are not lies told out of ignorance. They are told because they have an agenda and we need to forcefully call them out on that agenda, not the lies used to sell it because that is just a smoke screen. Every time Trump angrilly tweets about millions of illegals voting and we push back with lines like "there is no factual evidence to support that. You are just making that up." Trump just laughs. Because he know full well that millions didn't vote illegally. And even if he doesn't, he doesn't care. That's not why he says these things. It's because the underlying agenda is one of racism. It's to demonize non whites so that later on it will be easier to push through legislation against them. The Muslim registry or whatever they are planning will be swallowed much easier by the public if they actually believe some of these early lies. Our job isn't to spout the facts that millions didn't vote illegally, because they don't give a shit about facts. Our job is to yell back loudly RACISM!!
