Repeating the Narrative

Trump fabricates to control the narrative. George Lakoff has written about that. If we respond to Trump's stream of claims and conspiracy theories, he controls the news cycle.  To respond thoughtfully, we must repeat and re-enforce his narrative. We argue with an idiot.

That cuts both ways. Right now Trump and his goblins are complaining about impeachment, which strengthens the Democratic narrative through repetition, making impeachment seem more normal day by day.
