people who are aggressively anti-Trump dont really bother me.
that is their thing, and that is not only fine, its constitutionally protected.

what absolutely fascinates me about the Trump phenomena, is the criminality.
not the criminality on the part of the government, although that is a wake up call, but the levels of criminality average people seem willing to support and engage in. And specifically the levels of ever escalating wild conspiracy thinking required to engage in the criminality. This is the thing that fascinates me the most. That for many, they would rather abandon reason, and their own integrity, than confront being wrong. He cant just be a politician that they dont like and didnt vote for so they need to work harder to win an election, he needs to be on par with Hitler and Stalin, and an End of the World threat to justify the increasing insanity they need to embrace to not have to face that what they originally believed was wrong, and they have been lied to. And along the way, they start embracing policies and institutions they previously spoke against, in order to destroy the object of their insane hatred. Its trully the strangest thing Ive ever seen in my life.
So you dont like the guy. Fine. I thought the dude was the devil in 2015. But after seeing how hard the State was lying to destroy him, and how completely full of crap the establishment media showed themselves to be, I had to re-evaluate my original assesment. The radical lack of willingness to re-evaluate, and need to embrace ever increasing conspiracies to avoid being wrong is the wildest thing ive seen. It motivates me to watch for it in myself.
