Hmm. Trump is now claiming to have won the popular vote, or he would have if not for voter fraud.
I'm used to politicians stretching truth during the campaign, though Trump seems to have taken it to new levels. There has been a need for fact checkers. As a president elect / president does he think he can govern through the same style of blatant lies he used during the campaign? Can he be "leader of the free world" when he has utterly destroyed his credibility?
Autocratic governments from fascist to communist to Baathist tried to do it, but found it necessary to convert the media into propaganda organs to make it work. Trump can't even control Faux.

That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.
