    Because roughly half the country believes what he says. If it affirms their worldview (usually hatred of some “other”), then they are happy to take it on face value.

    Because we have blatantly partisan media companies willing to parrot his lies and unwilling to challenge even the most harmful of them.

    Because our two party system makes nearly everything a political issue that is supported by one party or the other, and voters have to choose between the lesser of two evils (whatever that means to that voter) than vote for someone who better represents their actual world view.

    Because he is rich. Because he is privileged. Because he has never been made to actually face the consequences of intentionally lying to everyone.

    Dude, wait that’s not right! We have to blame the guns, obviously, not society. With enough “thoughts and prayers” and some extra helpings of gun control laws, no one will be desperate or depressed or rageful enough to hurt people! Don’t bring your logic or nuance into the conversation or someone could get confused!
