Largely religious Americans wonder how tRumpers can believe in the fantasy world he weaves

5. Democracy is a fiction too that only works if enough people believe

in it. Nation States, banking, money, the laws, language, religion, etc. Anything humans created to organize themselves is a fiction or a construct. What is not is science (which is solely based on observation but sometimes a fiction when testing hypothesi). Trump knows this and thinks if he just repeats something enough times it will become accepted. Or if he rams democracy with a wrecking ball and wins in an undemocratic way that that will be accepted. Democrats need to decide if they want liberal democracy (which they do) and then fight like hell to sell it to all americans again and label Republicans as against it because they are.
