There's a huge reality gap between трамповата and the administration. Our so-called-president keeps lying because his electorate wants to buy it.

upd: A plurality of Republicans gave up on facts because to share this belief you have to ignore the reality of falling ag sales, lower commodity prices, and higher storage costs:

Признать факты было дискомфортно, отрицать официальную пропаганду было опасно, а соглашаться с ней означало признать себя, хотя бы в душе, подлецом. Поэтому факты не признавались или перекручивались, зато человек мог считать себя честным и порядочным.
Здесь, конечно, признать реальность не опасно, но определённый уровень дискомфорта с привычным окружением всё-таки будет. "А оно мне надо?.."
