    Well lets be honest Trump can’t form sentences that are this coherent. Yet people still somehow dig it. I understand the appeal of a charismatic leader with a strong rhetoric but Trump? Come on guys.

      everything he says is laundered and repackaged through an army of spin doctors to make it seem more convincing and articulate.

      Hitler had Goebbels. one guy. with the rise of for profit, 24/7, ubiquitous social media, there’s now 10,000 Goebbels with their own podcast or content channel.

      and because these apologists and sane-washers get paid by tech companies (in advertising/ clicks) they have incentives to keep churning it out without any direct orders from a central authority - “Smash that subscribe button!, we got weekly hot takes on what glorious leader actually meant when he said ‘death to my enemies!’”

      I think a lot of people aren’t that coherent. They also just kind of wander from emotion to emotion, so Trump talks like they think.
