    It’s almost like you have to look at more than just what people say about each other to determine who’s right.

    Anyway, I was talking about Trump himself, not his supporters. I don’t know how it could possibly be more clear that he’s a bad person. If you can’t acknowledge that fact then I can’t take anything you say seriously.

      Trump can’t exist without an enormous base of zealous donors, canvasers, and loyal electoral disciples. Neither can any politician, particularly at the national level. At some level, Trump is a manifestation of his support. Otherwise, he’d have lost to Christie or Hailey or Pence.

      If you can’t acknowledge that fact

      You don’t need to go far in the American suburbs to find people who spout all the same rhetoric and engage in a host of the same behaviors as the Cheeto Mussolini. I’m in Texas and I’m surrounded by these people. I go visit family up in Staten Island and they’re all over the place. Step out to Arizona, Florida, Ohio… guys who admire and seek to emulate Trump, both in his politics and mannerisms, are all over this country.
