It used to be called Delirium Tremens, a condition brought on by taking in Diverse Things that Delivered Toxic stuff to the brain.
For a time, little could be done but wait until what the victim thought was Divine Toxicity cleared up, the person sobered up and came to his senses.
Similar issues happen in business and politics. Owners of golf courses, real estate seminars, football leagues, hotels, casinos and airlines have conned people into investing big money in the projects, only to see them go bankrupt. They watch as their money Disappears, Transferred to the Developer Triumphant as he walks away from yet another Delirious Trap, his ego inflated and his wallet fattened Despite Terrible losses by the Duped Tyros.
Now we are engaged in a great election campaign, testing to see whether people will continue to believe the Dynamic Tirades of an incipient Deranged Tyrant and enable him to foment more Dirty Tricks on the Delirious Troops who choose to believe every word their leader utters, regardless of fact or reality.
In Due Time, we will see how much influence news media have as they spread information and fact to overcome the candidate's Doddering Tales of past successes that really weren't.
