How Still We See Thee Lie

The lies of the Republicans seem to be reaching a crescendo but I have thought so before and have to remind myself that they are not "lying" but offering inclusion in an alternative world in which there is no truth. They are not operating in the old arena of accountability and sense, so there is no crescendo. 

It's a doppelgänger society-within-a-society. Actually, responsible citizens are now the "within" part, a subculture of believers in justice, intelligibility and the American Way, but they suck, as a rule, at the leaping-of-tall-buildings and with Trump they have been defeated to a degree we didn't think possible.
