WHY ARE TRUTH AND FACT NOT IMPORTANT TO TRUMP? …… It may well be that Trump just doesn’t pay
attention to the facts for whatever reason whether narcissism, arrogance,
ignorance. He may not pay attention to
truth because, like most people, he doesn’t see a difference between truth and facts whether those of his or others. On the other hand, a better explanation may
be that the liberal discourse generally shapes a body of fact and consequent
truth that has had bad consequences for America as Trump sees it.
He and Bannon are moving the narrative away
from the validity of this discourse.
These Economic Nationalists see themselves creating a new narrative
which requires a structural transformation of state and society. It is within and as a consequence of this
re-structuration that the narrative of new values will emerge. Or possibly, as they probably see it, old
values that must be renewed, a conservative culture that must be
rehabilitated.
So the globalist liberal media becomes the enemy of the
people because their discourse narrates a “violence” against the re-valuation
of state and society, trade and foreign relations, community and culture. Trump’s “truths” are the values of the
predominantly white working class who have not been allowed an identity politics
as they perceive it. There obviously
still cling to white identity politics the regressive tendencies of racism,
sexism, zenophobia and religious charvinism.
But for the Trumpists this will be tolerated in order to make the
transition to a new populist polity.
This is not my populism but the populism that won him the election and
could sustain him through a second term.
