4. Spinning out the dramatic "story" of his beleaguered leadership to his base.

Another day, another bad guy chapter that rolls out the original conspiracy drama.

Then comes the GOP pack chorus: "When the real story comes out, the Democrats will be in trouble!" "There needs to be an investigation of the investigators!"

All the GOP have are stories.

Their investigations have turned up no facts in the past, so, story telling about the "truth" is what they're about. Stories are all they have.

The GOP tells its "story" of governing while the Democrats actually govern.

Living for years on "reality" media feeds, their adherents don't know the difference.

For the Right, Alt-fact is understood as story. So, story to them equals fact.
