Answer 1

In politics it is rightly said that narratives are valued more than the truth. Well it's a fact that truth takes ages to unfold and and narratives give you well a more immediate response and helps you predict a result. The narratives that were put on the table by both democrats and Republicans is an example before us.

The ideology behind is that both Trump and Hillary Clinton put some statements that were demonstrably false but using them both escaped unscathed in views of their supporters. Leaving the other side to look for the explanations and proofs to defend themselves.

Here the competition was about who could lay a groundworks for a better life that would put the other on defamation lane. The results are self-explanatory that who did the better homework for lies in 2016.

Thinking about the case wherein, the pro-gun within the US and those in search of gun manipulate can see the equal occasion of mass taking pictures in a store as proof for his or her personal cases. another mass capturing? To those helping gun manipulate, it’s a case of “it would be most effective that perpetrators had been banned from getting access to a gun”. To the ones pro-gun, it’s a case of “if only those around them were better armed”.

each statements are absolutely in obedience with the narratives of their perceivers. Hi it is concluded that politics is the nothing but trying and convincing not people but these narratives that people have made to win their confidence.

Trump's narratives were more explanatory, in understanding of the people's interests and had a better notion of being true once the investigation gives results. Which we now know that was all groundless but that led to Trump's victory.

Whereas Hillary's narratives also had a good groundworks but the people didn't buy that as Trump's narratives were more eminent for them to believe. That led to her loss.
