At the Colorado Sun, Mike Littwinn offers an interesting theory as to how Donald Trump garnered enough votes to win. Given the nature of dis coarse discourse, methinks he may have something.

A lot of people — and I don’t really have any idea of how many, but let’s just agree it’s way too many — voted for Donald Trump believing that much of the radical policy he promised to implement was just your basic Trumpian performance art.

Meaning, they voted for Trump because they figured he’d cut taxes or he’d bring down the price of eggs or because he’s on their team — and not because they believed Trump when he said, repeatedly, that he will turn American democracy on its head.

He goes on to explain why he thinks they will be proven to be, as my old boss would say, in error.
