Like, I feel detached bemusement about his presidency, and I feel pity for his followers.
It feels wrong that I'm not up in arms about the disaster he has wrought, but I'm not sure why I feel that way. Does part of me maybe admire him for his gumption and upending part of the system? He was always part of the swamp, but part me of feels like I'll miss him?
I don't know. My emotions are all over the place, and it feels weird that I can't come to terms with them. Anyone else?
He's Tony Soprano. He's an objectively evil person, but luck flows through him and he's spiteful to a point where it's entertaining as hell. You also know exactly how he came into being. You know what he wants, you know what bargains he's made. You can tell he's a person, even if he's an insanely evil one, because you understand that you'd do the same if you had the same experiences and goals.
Like, I think with most republican politicians you just get people who either get off on doing evil or are addicted to power, both of which aren't very humanizing. And then with most liberal politicians they just have wants that are bizarre or unclear.
