18. obviously he plays to his base

and virtually everything he says is propaganda. i just think he's deteriorated mentally and cognitively so much that he believes it. he thinks he's the victim here. he thinks he knows everything about everything more than anyone else. i don't know that but that's what i think. his brain does not work right.

rational people who pay attention to the actual news know better. trumpsters and foxbots don't. they don't believe that COVID-19 poses an actual threat, they don't believe that climate change is exasperated by human conduct, they don't believe that stealing and locking up children is a crime or that colluding with russia and blackmailing Ukraine are wrongful acts. it almost goes without saying that it's okay to cheat on elections, suppress the vote, pack the courts, lie, cheat and steal, and ratfuck your opponents in order to win. the ends justify the means regardless of how cruel, anti-American, or even murderous those means may be. Bad faith is good faith.

so trump the unmanageable 2 year old is in a bubble full of helpless grown ups without any will or ability to contain or control him, and a bunch of other bad actors who spend their days ruining the country in dozens of different ways, because they can. an astonishingly high number of cultists are comfortable with that, because of racism, hatred of the other, nothing pleases them more than owning the libtards, etc.

dark times.
