    What’s fascinating about all this to me is that Donald Trump believes, correctly, that he has a superpower. He can get his followers to believe whatever reality he puts out there, and that’s worked for him for a very long time but it won’t work on this. Affordability is kryptonite to his superpower because his followers know which way is up when it comes to prices.”

    And there it is: the one thing he can’t bullshit through is the one thing his supporters can really know and understand for themselves. Trump’s cost is way too high for getting nothing in return, and people are finally waking up

      Trump has never had an upside unless you count being able to say racist shit in public again an upside. He’s never made a positive impact on regular people. If we can’t see stuff like that without being priced out of existence then we are well and truly fucked when the next, slightly less retarded fascist comes along.
