    This is the thing that most astonishes me about this timeline.

    Even setting aside all the other issues - politics, ideology, constitutionality, the rule of law, integrity, whatever - Trump is so obviously a raving lunatic that I sincerely have no idea how anyone can possibly fail to see it. There’s nothing at all aubtle or obscure about it - he’s bludgeoningly obviously unhinged.

    Do people actually not see that? How? Or do they see it and ignore it? Again, how?

      They’re not really paying attention to him, they’re paying attention to Fox News or newsmax or whatever propaganda channel they prefer.

      And, at the end of the day they’re not voting for a person, they’re voting for the big three: abortion, guns, and racism immigration. That and “sticking it to the libs”.

      Because most Americans read at about a sixth grade level… And that’s about the level, or lower, that he speaks on.
