outrageous fantasies about how awesome Trump is.
You were just manipulated by Trump, its a harsh reality you have to deal with. Don't take it from me, just ask Trump:
“I play to people’s fantasies,” Trump wrote in his 1987 book “The Art of the Deal.” “
I call it truthful hyperbole. It’s an innocent form of exaggeration — and a very effective form of promotion.”
(But note: he didn't come up with the phrase, his ghost writer tried to diplomatically describe how Trump lies hugely....)
Innocent form of exaggeration designed to self-promote? Of course, it's not *really* innocent at all is it?
It's simply lies to self-promote, playing off people's fantasies. Trump has described Trump better than you did Zimmer, you simply bought into the fantasy
His communication tactic was masterful... it had to be. His first strike was to fill a vacuum Leftists and righties dared not go...
To outright use lies and fantasy to win support? You're right, neither the left nor right, up until Trump, dared to be so deceitful, manipulative, and unethical. He's an empty hole of a human, he lied and played on the rural rights' love of their own nationalist, racist, bigoted, sadistic tendancies, all to win a presidency from which he had neither the skill nor the interest to actual govern from.
But you're correct in that until now, on one really though it was appropriate to manipulate people that obviously, that brazenly, to win the presidency, We really underestimated the gullibility of his voters.
