Stop. Please, Just Stop
"Fake news", "the Deep State",
Sigh.
Trump's core supporters are doubling down in the face of the meltdown of the Trump administration.
It's time for the Trump base to have a "Come to Jesus" moment of Clarity.
There is no conspiracy. Donald Trump is the architect of his own downfall.
Ok, here's the carrot. You are not deplorables, racists, etc.
You are hard working people who have suffered a generation of wage stagnation and worse.
You didn't benefit much from globalization.
The political class either ignores you, manipulates you or ridicules you.
You deserve better.
The stick.
You knew that Donald Trump was a deeply flawed character.
Yes, you did.
But, you thought that he was a risk worth taking.
And, it did not work out. The man is completely unfit for, and incompetent in the office he holds.
It is time to walk away. Stop doubling down on absurdity.
You won something. No one is going to ignore the white working class in the next election.
Do not squander your political advantage by allowing people to brand you as crazy.
Let's get to work on improving lives.
The Right Builds an Alternative Narrative About the Crises Around Trump
As Americans process a dizzying week of damning revelations about the president — his firing of the F.B.I. director, James B. Comey; his disclosure of highly sensitive intelligence to the Russians; and his plea to Mr. Comey to drop the bureau’s investigation of his fired national security adviser, Michael T. Flynn — Mr. Trump has found shelter on the right, where the collective judgment of the conservative media and the Republican Party so far seems to be to dismiss the allegations as “fake news,” shift the blame and change the subject.
With varying degrees of credibility and credulity, conservatives have fed stories that Mr. Trump is the victim of sabotage by an adversarial intelligence community full of Trojan horse holdovers from the Obama administration.

We live in a time in which decent and otherwise sensible people are surrendering too easily to the hectoring of morons or extremists.
