Indeed Mike. As Harari observed in his history of information, The Matrix most information is of the misinformation variety. Somehow we thought that if we just flooded the entire world with information, the truth would float to the top, but the truth actually sinks to the bottom. Throw in the fucking fascists playbook and you have Trump. Pundits keep saying Trump is tanking, but Trump is in his glory. As Hannah Arendt, in her Origins of Totalitarianism, observed even when the the Fuhrer changes his crazy lies daily, his followers think that they are somehow in on the joke. They think how clever he is to be deceiving the unclean.
