Tens of millions of Americans still support djt. That's despite his vicious rhetoric, shameless lying, crackpot conspiracy theories, brazen corruption and open contempt for his rank and file supporters.
On the whole, humans doing politics isn't a mostly rational endeavor. The expert science consensus on that point is overwhelming.
In a recent interview with Fox News, djt was asked about unifying the country after Charly Kirk's murder. His response was vintage Trump, full of hate and contempt:
I'll tell you something that's going to get me in trouble, but I couldn't care less.[1]
That's a rare moment of candor on two levels. First, him not caring about American society is actual truth. I consider it a fact.
Second, acknowledging trouble, he insults us by knowingly flaunting his contempt of public opinion in our faces. That's pure MAGA arrogance, dictatorship and demagoguery.
Footnote:
1. djt's full quote is this: "I'll tell you something that's going to get me in trouble, but I couldn't care less. The radicals on the right oftentimes are radical because they don't want to see crime. They don't want to see crime. Worried about the border. They're saying, We don't want these people coming in. We don't want you burning our shopping centers. We don't want you shooting our people in the middle of the street. The radicals on the left are the problem and they're vicious and they're horrible and they're politically savvy, although they want men and women sports, they want transgender for everyone, they want open borders."
His lies about the 'radical left' are blatant and deeply insulting.
