John Oliver on Trump’s false equation of feelings with facts

John Oliver takes on the belief by Trump and his minions that they can create feelings, and feelings are equal to facts. He doesn’t mention it, but this recalls Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels. Newt Gingrich is shown brazenly asserting that people’s “feeling” that crime is up and the economy is down, which the evidence shows is the opposite of the truth, is just as valid as the correct information cited by a reporter. He refers to the FBI crime report as the work of “theoreticians.”

So whipping up crowds into a fury over Trumped-up lies makes the lies true. This insanity is what you are voting for if you don’t vote Democratic. Because the GOP is in thrall to nihilism in service of power at any cost, even if the cost is treason.
