"Why do reason, logic and truth seem to play a sharply diminished role in the way America now makes important decisions?" The persistent and sustained reliance on falsehoods as the basis of policy, even in the face of massive and well-understood evidence to the contrary, seems to many Americans to have reached levels that were previously unimaginable.
I am not a Trump supporter and didn't vote for Trump, but I have to say I see more bizarre 'logic' coming from the TDS crowd than the Trump crowd.
Just last week, it was found that a young African-American DCCC (Dem congressional committee campaign) staffer had sent out anti-Hispanic and homophobic tweets. The Hispanic congressional caucus was up in arms.
The DCCC honchos put their heads together and decided that in reaction they would fire 5 white staffers. One of the fired staffers was lesbian. At first they said the staffer who had tweeted had been reassigned, but that proved to be false.
Let's see here--black staffer sends out homophobic tweets, so you fire a white lesbian staffer to show your commitment to 'diversity.' Okaaaay.
Wow, talk about being the white sacrificial lamb for diversity, pandering to non-whites and black privilege. I've described whites being scapegoated and the sacrificial lamb. But that story is truly amazing.

Who are the moew whacked-out conspiracy theorists, the pro-Trump or anti-Trump crowds, or are they about the same?

The power of the television medium has a lot do with it.
