Quiet Peggy.

Not all dumb people are Trumpsters, but all Trumpsters are dumb people. Indubitably. And it's not by chance. His entire administration is geared that way. In fact, I would argue it's carefully curated that way.

In other words, that's their communications strategy.

On the stump he famously said "he loves the uneducated." And one look at his rallies, his Red Golf Cap collectors. Or even a few episodes of The Daily Show where intrepid Jordan Klepper courageously goes out to interview the uninformed masses, it's not only clear that he loves them, they love him. To the point of embarrassing themselves in ways that defy disbelief.

And therein lies the magic of 77 million _________ (I'm running out of ways to describe them) Americans pulling the lever for him.

Allow me to back up a bit. 

I've been watching Season 3 of The Diplomat. And without giving away too many spoilers, it's a fascinating look at the transition from one presidential administration to the next. It has shades of the West Wing. And the peak behind the gold curtains at the Oval Office is fascinating. 

Particularly how images and communications are handled and overthought to the most minute detail.

I would posit that the folks pulling the strings behind our MFOTUS, Mother Fucker of the United States of America, are doing the same. They are manipulating us and playing upon our greatest weakness: the mass feeblemindedness that is 100 times more pervasive than Covid ever was.

Case in point: yesterday a US Appeals Court found that Trump's appointment of Alina Babba as a US attorney was invalid. This was the second time her appointment, which passed her interim status date, was upheld by courts.

Do Joe Sixpack and Betty Bag O' Groceries know the details of the Alina Babba issue. They do NOT. I'm willing to bet that 99.9% of Garden State residents who turned their back on left leaning hometown hero Bruce Springsteen, have never heard of Ms. Babba. 

What they will hear, from the bully pulpit, is how the Deep State is undermining the Trump Administration -- the 4th Reich -- and thus Trump is able to exploit this humiliating judicial loss in his favor.

"They haven't just ruled against us, they ruled against us", he will sneer.

And the Trump Machine will have once again turned defeat into an uninformed victory. 

It is a pattern that repeats itself over and over again. 

"He didn't say Quiet Piggy, he said Peggy."

"Grocery prices are lower than they've ever been."

"No one has been tougher on Putin than me."

None of it has to hold up to truth because Americans, some, don't care about truth. Hence the Big, Beautiful Wheel of Mendacity™ keeps rolling on.  

It doesn't take a genius. A Mensa. Or even someone who can ace the Montreal Cognitive Test to see what's happening. Clearly, the folks who are still eternally and dimwittingly loyal to this 79 year old bag of rotting flesh are none of the above.
