Who is Trump Really

[Checkerboard Strangler]

I sometimes wonder if Trump isn't a Manchurian Candidate for the Republican Party. Way way way way back in the 1980s, he was a fairly staunch Democrat. Could be that he planned to become the worst President ever so as to discredit the Republicans going forward.

Of course, I have absolutely zero evidence that such is the case. Just a bit of wild speculation.

I wish it was that simple. Reality TV has been used as a kind of sous-vide coooking method to cook the brains of the average low information voter, and Trump is a master of the genre, perhaps THE master.

The list of advantages of having a deeply conditioned constituency that responds to carefully curated stimuli dispensed by data mining networks and hostile foreign adversaries is too large to describe in a single post.
We're talking about the manufacture of consent on steroids.

Reality TV is a form of mental conditioning. But it goes much deeper than just reality TV, which is just a platform. Once it is connected to social media, it is still a platform but the closer one looks, the more tentacles appear.

Reality TV has been watched by both DEM and REP voters. Public education has educated both DEM and REP voters. Register as an Independent so the two parties have to work for your vote. You may actually start to get good Independent candidates to run for local, state and federal seats!!!!

So, name the last independent candidate to win the White House.
We're talking about Trump, not the local city councilman.
