These last few years, I've honestly felt like I live on some alternate-universe earth. I must be one of very few who have never seen a reality show. I've never seen Trump as a "smart in-control" guy. I've never conflated the "reality" of reality shows with reality.
As I all-too-often mention, I got my fill of "fake reality" by being raised in a house where the Commies were threatening daily to invade California (and where, coincidentally, pro-wrestling was believed to be real.) My wake up call was seeing the Vietnam War plastered on the TV, and coming to the gradual realization that we were not there to help anyone except arms merchants and bloviating politicians.
