Chuck DarwinDonald Trump fits into a long tradition of #hucksters who have preyed on Americans living in rural areas and small cities where regular entertainment has been limited.
I’m talking about carnivals and the carnival barkers. Their arrival in rural towns was anticipated with glee, predominantly in the 19th century but has continued to some degree to the present.
Donald Trump is a perfect example of this role as a huckster, who would lie and exaggerate to get people to pay for carnival tickets or to buy objects from the carnival booths.
He’s a figure well recognized by Americans outside of urban areas and that familiarity has made rural residents accept him more readily than city dwellers as a source of entertainment, the lies and exaggerations as part of his spiel.
“Hey ya, hey ya. Step right up and get your tickets for one of the best and most unusual shows ever in your county. See a one-legged tight-rope walker swallow swords while a hundred feet in the air. See Miss Betty Buxom perform her special dance revealing parts of her you wouldn’t believe.
And that’s only the beginning. We have forty other acts that will amaze you and have you coming back to see more. Our Trumpy-Dumpy Carnival show has been reviewed by the New York Times and Washington Post with four star ratings.
They’ve written that they’ve never seen a show like ours. And you have to see it to believe it. We’ve had larger crowds than any other carnival or circus.

SPQRSam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI has no degree. He dropped out of Stanford University after two years. No Masters. No PhD. This guy is a fvcking joke. Him and Elmo, another academic fraud, are who people idolize in late stage capitalism! #technology #OpenAI #hucksters #AI #AGI #ML

The discovery of these frauds somehow never precipitates disillusionment. Rather than getting angry with marketers for tricking them, reporters are ventriloquized into repeating the marketing claim that these aren’t lies, they’re premature truths. Sure, today these are faked, but once the product is refined, the fakery will no longer be required.

"The money raised by dubious methods was evidence of God’s blessing on the project, thereby sanctioning ever-more-dubious methods to raise ever more money."

"This practice of preying on unwitting believers [by spinning narratives of impending catastrophe brought on by imagined anti-Christian forces] was central to the business model of the Moral Majority and its successor groups. ….
Little by little, [Cal] Thomas told me, the limits were pushed. The successes of the Moral Majority became self-justifying:"
