We’ve drifted so far into la la land that, apparently, many in the group considered “potential voters” are more interested in being entertained than expending the effort to think and wrestle with issues.
When it comes to voting for a person running for public office, many, sadly, are easily bored, not impressed by a candidate’s intelligence or experience or familiarity with policy or ability to move legislation. They’d much rather have some manufactured drama, some excitement and stimulation.
You know—Entertainment Tonight or something that comes across as more reality show than reality.
And thus we can start to make sense of Donald Trump’s popularity. It’s less about substance and more about image, persona.
Make believe. Faking it.
