We are a very polarized nation, but what's amazing is that the biggest factor driving this polarization is the inability of Americans to universally condemn a figure so loathsome as Donald Trump. It's truly astonishing. There is no mystery to the man; he's vile; he is the worst of the human race. Republican politicians love telling Mark Liebovitch what a toxic dirtbag he is, just as long as he agrees not to rat them out.
They know. They all know. They know the racist gameshow host (credit to Tim Miller) should never have been President; they said as much in 2016. They know he should have been removed from office through the Impeachment process. They know people around him had to prevent him from doing even worse things. Marco Rubio, lead Republican on the Senate Intel Committee, knows this MaraLago documents scandal is a BFD, and that Trump is totally guilty, and did something very very bad here. But they get on tv and make excuses, and tell their voters how Donald Trump is a perpetual victim, and the politicians, rightwing media, and voters reinforce each other in a closed-system, never-ending circle jerk of confirmation bias.
We are polarized, because we can't even get a large majority of America to agree on this one obvious truth: Donald Trump is a bastard, a criminal, and a pathological liar. He doesn't lie, He tells it like it is! We could unite as a country against the USSR; how is Donald Trump not like the USSR right now? How stupid of a country is this?
And he always has been. In NYC he has always been considered a bafoon and a liar and a cheat. Squandered much of his inheritance on bad deals. Cheated his contractors and had to borrow money from questionable sources. The only thing he does well is shameless self promotion to gullible rubes. If he were not born rich, he'd be selling time shares on phoney islands.
110%, Trumpists are standing up in Idaho churches with southern preachers and Eric Trump flanking screaming that Democrats are demons that need war. Are moderates standing up in Universities screaming the same thing against Trumpists? No.
I know there is something dark behind the scenes. I don't want to start a conspiracy theory, but it's more that just the idiot Trump that has poisoned people's minds. He's just not that smart.
well, it's a racist and xenophobic one actually. Go back, watch the first episode of Ken Burn's documentary on America in the Holocaust. See how fast Hitler rose.
Saw it last night. Makes me better understand the following paraphrasing of a Lutheran Minister's comment on Hitler's evil.
"They took away the Communists, and no one did anything. They took away the homosexuals and no one did anything. They took away the Jews and no one did anything. Now they take me away and there is no one to do anything."
20 years of FOX News telling shut ins every night that the Democrats are evil, godless, antiwhite anti Christian has done its job of brainwashing millions of people. I don't doubt for a minute that this was the plan from the beginning.

The Cruelty is the Point™, that's why so many people who do know better support Trump

An inability to discern facts is a hallmark of authoritarian systems. How many fingers to you see, Winston?
John Prine :
I knew a girl who was almost a lady.
Had a way with all men in her life.
Every inch of her blossomed in beauty.
She was born on the fourth of July
She lived in an aluminum house trailer
and worked in a jukebox saloon
She took all the money I give her
Just to see the old man in the moon.

Gone too soon as Molly Ivens would have said.
