Donald Trump's world is indeed, through the looking glass; but it's not entirely his fault, Donald merely picked up on the success of the RNC's strategic propaganda eyewash, or hogwash, portraying left as right, up as down, and democrats guilty of what republican strategists knew, without a doubt, themselves to be deliberately guilty of carrying out, such as implicit racism with the Southern Strategy of Lee Atwater, which gave us President Reagan.  Trump saw through that tincture of horseradish, and understood, and made the Southern Strategy bluntly explicit rather than implicit, sucking in many more vulnerable voters too dumb to tune in to mere implication.  Look how many he found!  Could anyone, before Trump, have believed the stupid, bigoted, and xenophobic represented even close to half our voting population?  For that social/political insight alone, we owe Trump special thanks and recognition.

But, not the presidency
