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.
Trump is a dementia-riddled manchild, who was a dumbfuck even before that. His supporters are literally brainwashed and fed constant fox news propaganda, so yea, you're right to pity them. Trump is a caricature, and is often rightfully nicknamed "the poor man's idea of a rich man". There is no one more fitting for the terminal decline of America, so no, I can't bring myself to hate him more than the competent fascists ghouls who drop bombs on 3rd world countries, or the neolibs who exploit said countries once they are reduced to rubble.
Because deep down we are all Posters and he is the Greatest Poster Of All Time
You legitimately sound like a chud. You sound indistinguishable from a maga guy I saw on TV who said that he knew that Trump was from the swamp but liked him anyways.
