Trump/Bannon's Provable Lies: Those Who Can Make You Believe Absurdities

“Those who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities.”

Voltaire

Trump/Bannon have their 30% base and these lies which most of them swallow whole are hardening their support. Feeding into their sense of victimhood and prepping them to accept totalitarian behavior.

I don't think it will work in the USA because 30% are informed and committed to reality and the mushy middle respond to comedians and popular culture which will mock Trump/Bannon and Republicans and make them undesirable.
