This is very important. The increased reach of the dishonest and the foolish is important but only because there are many people delighted to be told that being made to feel ashamed of their worst impulses is elitist oppression and their imagined fears are real enough to justify harming others

Making people care that they are being lied to is also key.
It is easy to expose the lies of Trump and other populist politicians, but people want the lies. Even when those lies are against their material self-interest.
Like the X-Files motto, they want to believe.

This is not based on any special expertise about Trump, but on 25 years as a contract/commercial lawyer.

For Trump a contract is not there to be performed, but to be reneged upon so as to get ever more personally favourable terms.
A binding exchange of promises is alien to Trump.
Actual deals are for losers.
