The flip side approach to seeing Trump as a political genius, evil or not, is a belief that he is too stupid, disordered, and incompetent to usher fascism in America.— Elizabeth Mika (@yourauntemma) July 26, 2020
Our tendency to either glamorize or demonize evil stands in a way of correct perception.
It reinforces the "system" to say Trump is a political genius. If a complete boob can rise to the level of POTUS, then our system is broken; or we are.
If we can't trust the system, we have to trust ourselves. But we know better than that, so the system must save us from ourselves (the way the Founding FATHERS intended. They left it so the children would always be provided for.). But we ARE children, and continue to behave like actions have no consequences and the adults will clean it all up and make our boo-boos better.
Yeah, I'm pretty disgusted.
