I Think It's a Feature of Authoritarian Politics.

In a democracy it should be harder to get away th with having one's lies exposed. But i think that is a uniquely trumpiin phenomenon. It doesn't matter how discordant his behaviour is with his next utterance. His opponents are keeping score relentlessly. Like his lies are being documented every day. There are now thousands of them. People are keeping score. For at least forty % of america, it really is a kind of personality cult phenomenon were is just for for Donald Trump. And that is what is so disfunctional about having him in that roll, from my point of view.
