Is the Trumpian universe ever going to catch on? Will there ever be a moment of clarity so unmistakable that they can’t avoid seeing the obvious? One might reasonably think that this would have happened by now.
Or are they already there but just can’t bring themselves to admit it yet?
Their guy is a snake, a fake, a propped-up gas bag whose only “superpower” is an ability to summon anger and file law suits. He’s a thin-skinned thug who apparently reveres and wants to emulate people like Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong Un.
How can there be such disparity in how we view this guy? He can’t really be both savior and pariah. Is there that much distance between us, that we can be seeing some of the same character traits without arriving at the same conclusions?
He’s a mess, and the people who rooted for his election– who facilitated it– are all part of the same ruse, the same ill-advised, hateful, treasonous scheme. We can’t let them bring us down.
