Yes it is. It is a trend. The starting point was "no evidence" and every day is more and more evidence. That is the act of becoming.
I only need enough evidence to be convinced, myself. You might have impossible standards, maybe to the point of requiring your own government to admit to you, personally,"yes we are ****ing you over", when everyone else already knows it.
Reality TV? It wasn't the simple act of a candidate losing that provided all these articles of evidence supporting something more substantial than that.
Try being skeptical of your puppet show of a democracy, then come back to me about what a skeptic would consider.
