In this case, it was a call to plain speaking. It was to counter the double speaking of the ruling party. Double speaking. You know saying something and meaning the opposite. Fake News. It means false news, but it is being applied to news that is not liked, but true. Imagine being able to tell people that when someone tells people about when you did something bad, you can tell them that it is fake news, ie call them a liar, without saying it. What it reminded me of is religion.
It hit me, I had made the connection once before, but not as strongly, that american politics was becoming a new religion. That the two parties are no longer changing, the lines have been drawn. The question is what religion are you? Are you Believe in Democratism or do you Believe in Republicianism? They both have profits, Kennedy, FDR, and Lincoln. And they both have profits, Obama and Clinton and Trump. The funny thing is that the Democratismists don't act like they are participating in this religion but the Republicanismist are. Right now they all claim to be Christians, but really they are not. They act a lot like their political beliefs more overriding than their actual religious beliefs. Their political beliefs trump their religious beliefs. I would bet that given time we would see this more clearly. Sadly, it will be after the inevitable religious war between political sides.
