  1. What is the cost of Trump's constant lies and gaslighting? It's not that we will mistake his lies for the truth. The real danger is that if we hear enough of his lies, we may no longer recognize the truth at all anymore. Then where will we be?  This is what gaslighting does to people, and to a nation. Trump's demagoguery is an appeal to people that plays on their emotions and prejudices rather than on their rational side. Demagoguery is a manipulative approach — often associated with dictators and amoral politicians — that appeals to the worst nature of people. Demagoguery isn't based on reason, issues, and doing the right thing; it's based on stirring up fear and hatred to control people.. Trump's demagoguery has been on full display since day one Since information from the press can undermine a demagogue's spell over his or her followers, modern demagogues like Trump have often attacked and demonized the free the press. They will usually claim that the media can't be trusted. They have even called out for violence against newspapers who opposed them, claiming that the press was secretly in the service of moneyed interests, or a deep state conspiracy against them , or claiming that leading newspapers were simply personally out to get them. This is dictatorship 101.
