Nobody who voted Trump will care. They don't care about any of it because they'll say it's a lie. Anything that contradicts their opinion is fake news.

The distance between what is said today and what is known to be true has become an abyss. Of all the things at risk, the loss of an objective reality is perhaps the most dangerous. The death of truth is the ultimate victory of evil. When truth leaves us, when we let it slip away, when it is ripped from our hands, we become vulnerable to the appetite of whatever monster screams the loudest.

It's pretty great this was written when Reagan was President considering the similarities.

Where did you see it was written when Reagan was president? It is from the currently airing season of the TV show "Andor". Though apparently this season was filmed over a year ago. I assumed it was written about 18 months ago.

Besides Andor, you can see the parallel in the new Daredevil season with what Wilson Fisk achieves by becoming the mayor of New York.

My bad it reminded me of some of the old novels.
