Is Trumpism the new GOP mainstream?

There's people who want to believe we're the most taxed nation on the planet, or that we alone have racism, or whatever. You can point out that we're not in either regard, and it won't matter much to some.

The question now is, are more of those voters impervious to facts gravitating to one party rather than the other.

And if so why.

Elected officials have always paid a price for lying as far back as I can remember. This is the first time I have seen a national figure seemingly rewarded for it. Trump seems to understand that it doesn't matter from one week to the next whether he is caught in lies by the press, since most of his supporters hate the press and believe they just want to bring down someone fighting for the American way of life.
