    The assumption here is that Trump's base is moved by policy considerations rather than tribal affiliation & personality cult obedience. https://twitter.com/NoahCRothman/status/1006893384479502336 …

        It’s a cult. If Dear Leader says the sky is purple, that’s what it is to them. Objective facts mean zero, so it doesn’t matter at all to them. 🌊

        Surely the citizens will revolt when they find out we have always been at war with Eurasia...

        They say it's better because trump didnt "give" Kim Jong Un a pallet of money. It's a dumb argument but it's how they are convincing themselves trump is better.

        Indeed. Whether or not they actually believe vague NK talking points are better than the Iran Deal is irrelevant. They'll fight to the death it is.

        Intellectuals often presume a substantial level of rationality when it comes to individuals' evaluations of politicians.

        If only a major political writer had written an entire novel about this phenomenon and gave it a pithy name like doublethink.

        Oh man, if the “base” can’t “stomach” something, it ain’t the queasiness felt by comparing and contrasting Iran and North Korea

        I just wrote a thread about this very thing. Ppl are outraged and blast him over policy. You have to play the man, not the cards 🃏 Here's the thread:https://twitter.com/wickdchiq/status/1006909588677857282?s=19 …

        This is the snake oil salesman at work. N Korea was.never a threat. He manufactured those whole thing for media and headlines. And many fell for it. It's pathetic to see really. And yet absurdly genius at the same time https://twitter.com/ThePlumLineGS/status/1006851492744228864 …

        Disagree - Trump's base just wants him to kick ass, and "own the Libs", they don't care how he does it.
