Okay seriously what the fuck are they doing. How is this a sound strategy of any kind. I understand that the evil and the maliciousness are the more pertinant issues but godDAMN the sheer *stupidity* is fucking frustrating as all get out.

It doesn't matter. There are no repercussions, the press is on their side, and they're not losing supporters

I think they buy their own hype. They think that because Trump could con some of the people some of the time, that he can manifest whatever reality he wants. They don't *realize* it's stupid bc they aren't factoring in other ppl w/ agency, lines in the sand, etc.

The cruelty is the point.
