Tomasky: Why Does No One Understand the Real Reason Trump Won?

[patphil]

77. The next question after this is why do people prefer the propaganda?

I think it's because the false narratives of the propaganda based media tells them what they want to hear.
This is what these people are all about. Donald Trump merely triggers the deep seated fear, anger, and hatred they already feel.
Willful ignorance is a powerful block to truth. Trump's base is comprised of people who deliberately block out the truth about Trump because he validates the darkness that rages within them. They're unhappy, and they believe that Trump will take vengeance on all those who are responsibility for their unhappiness.
I don't think any of this will change until those people get to the point where they are so miserable they actually look for truth.
At 78 yrs old, it ain't gonna happen in my lifetime; probably take decades, if ever.

I am a strong believer that the main reason we incarnate into physical bodies is so we can have a variety of experiences that help us to learn about love. It's the lessons of love that prepare us to become permanent angels when we die out of our physical bodies. Unfortunately, both history and current experience show that we are not learning that lesson.
I doubt humanity ever will.
