He and his democrat party continue to not only survive but thrive because the conduit for information to the average voter, the dominant news media, have become voluntarily subsurvient to the State.
Our petulent narcisissist of a president knows he can behave outrageously with confidence because he knows he'll never be called to account.
Its no more complicated than that.
the dominant news media, have become voluntarily subsurvient to the State.

Very good post overall.
At the risk of being slightly off topic, while we often blame the Stupid Party for their ineptitude the Republicans virtually NEVER have the advantage of a dominant news media behind them. It’s like trying to beat a team when the referees are helping the other guys win. When has the MSM ever backed any conservative cause or issue? The Democrats, on the other hand, can rest assured that the MSM will fully support them with favorable saturation coverage and run cover for them whenever unfavorable issues arise. The game is completely rigged.
