    I think for a lot of folks it’s also the idea that there is a neat, identifiable cause of all their problems that falls under easy to tap in to prejudices. They don’t want to accept that sometimes bad things just happen or maybe the people they vote for/believe in aren’t doing everything they can to help them. It has to be someone putting their thumb on the scale. And dammit, Trump is going to stop that person!

      I like how he didn’t stop shit (drain the swamp) whatsoever and that’s not a topic of discussion with those people.

      So crazy that anybody could revere that guy. He’s all the worst aspects of humanity wrapped into a single person.
