> [@Red\_Wiggler](#): > > Fox and the right wing media certainly seem to be a big part of the answer to the question of why Trump supporters were so confident of victory in the runup to the last election. Agree. However, I remember feeling the same way about Hillary in 2016. The easy path is to remain with a bubble and today’s tech and media seem to ensure these bubbles persist. ---

> [@Buck\_Godot](#): > > I think he remembers it but is just lying to provide a little cover when it is clearly demonstrated that the phrase predates his use. He made a similar caveat when he claimed to have invented the phrase “prime the pump”. If he honestly didn’t remember it he wouldn’t have even suggested the possibility that someone might have said it before. He just lies automatically. I don’t even believe he thinks about it. He lies about stuff that doesn’t need covering up, stuff that won’t help him, stuff that there’s no clear reason to lie about. He just says the first self-flattering or other-attacking thing that pops into his head. Later on, he’ll observe how his words actually went over. If it didn’t work, he’ll pretend he never said it. If it did work, he’ll claim he that he originated it, and double down. Every time I’ve ever been wrong about Trump, it’s because I didn’t understand what I wrote above. He sinks to new lows of narcissistic depravity so rapidly and fluently that us normies find it hard to believe we’re seeing what we’re seeing, a toddler’s id housed in the persona of an enormously powerful man. ---

Your repartee smacks of shear brilliance – a solid cut above the rest. I’ve pompadoured your wit since joining this MB. There’s a gentility to your humor where others can come off as barberous, even risking being Osteracized by their peers. I’m guessing your spirit animal is a taper ? No subject foils you. You play your part so very well. You are truly aprons among men. out ---
