Democrats are still under the illusion that people think about ideas in an open forum of ideas. They haven't learned that people only hear and believe what they are programmed to hear and believe. People don't listen to media channels because they want to learn, instead they want confirmation. Eighty years of corporate propaganda has made the myth and the myth lives. A thoughtful person knows that Trump is a fraud. But they are rare on both sides of the fence. One side believes, the other exhibits 'outrage' if you want to call it outrage. Outrage is just another part of the language game. In truth Trump is an economic moron, thus his bankruptcies and lying about his wealth, hiding his taxes etc etc etc. The democrats need to learn that, they need to call the man out for what he is, an inherited rich boy who is has bully qualities, but is dumb as a post. The myth doesn't die because you are outraged.

Even Trump's comments are dumb dumb dumb.

"Corporate propaganda directed outwards, that is, to the public at large, has two main objectives: to identify the free enterprise system in popular consciousness with every cherished value, and to identify interventionist governments and strong unions (the only agencies capable of checking a complete domination of society by corporations) with tyranny, oppression and even subversion. The techniques used to achieve these results are variously called 'public relations', 'corporate communications' and 'economic education'." Alex Carey 'Taking the Risk out of Democracy'
"The corporate grip on opinion in the United States is one of the wonders of the Western world. No First World country has ever managed to eliminate so entirely from its media all objectivity - much less dissent." Gore Vidal
