Why People Are OK with Trump’s Endless Supply of Lies
Right wingers see an existential crisis looming.
Obama represented the vanguard of that transition, which explains some of their lingering irrational hatred of the man.
That deep fear colors their entire spectrum of activity, from voter suppression to trickle-down policies to brutality towards women and children seeking asylum. It leads their elected officials to accept almost any level of criminality in order to retain some power for awhile longer. McConnell, Graham, etc.
They know they're a shrinking portion of the US voting population and they see that the upcoming generation overwhelmingly rejects their social, political and economic agendas. They realize that when the tipping point arrives, and it will within the next decade or so, they'll never recover.
tRump represents their last, or next to last, gasp. They'll fervently back his every action, ignorant utterance, and tweet because they see him as the only thing holding back the incoming tide of progress and tolerance that they feel so threatened by.
They'll even claim that tRump is "building that wall" even though they know it isn't true. Self delusion can be a strong narcotic. So strong they'll not only swallow tRump's lies, but willingly lie to themselves and lash out angrily at reality. We see it here daily.

I figure he uses a steady stream of lies as an ego shield to deflect criticism and confuse his opponents, while wrapping his allies in a warm and fuzzy blanket of oblivious fantasy. It works very well for him.
this will be one of those mysteries that will be studied well into the last days of the galaxy.
