“… #FactChecking doesn’t work with…#Trump… he has trained his followers to so distrust the press that even if Daniel Dale lays out 33 lies in one debate, Trump’s followers will…write that off to press bias... every time you try to fact check Trump, you…simply reinforce the belief of Trump’s supporters that the other half of society simply hates Trump’s truth. And so…fact checking…reinforces the loyalty of Trump’s rubes, rather than leads them to doubt him.” | @emptywheel https://www.emptywheel.net/2024/09/15/how-kamala-harris-dodged-the-two-truths-problem/
