Again, it’s dumb and silly. But in this political environment, attention is what wins. This is what Democrats and President AOC must do 24/7. Legislate? Meh. But message the hell lot of things. Even if the economy is sluggish, make it sound like it’s doing amazing. Demand attention. Only nerds, like me, actually like quiet and competent leadership.

Most of the country likes this ****, apparently:

This **** pisses me off.
If they ever come to my elementary school while I'm there then I'm probably going to get arrested or ****ed up or both. Don't **** with my kids.

Trumpism is license for he and his followers to act their worst. There’s freedom in acting like an adolescent child. It’s why so many emotionally stunted and socially frustrated tech bros love Trump. While the rest of us become adults and act responsibly, trumpers revert to their base 14 year old embittered selves.

He appeals to the emotions of anger and fear, and people respond by echoing his love of cruelty.

Trump boasts of achievements and attacks enemies as he celebrates 100 days in office

The US president mocked Joe Biden, falsely claimed he won the 2020 presidential election and defended his decision to impose tariffs on countries around the world.

“He played a video of migrants his administration claims are gang members arriving at a notorious prison in El Salvador, with those in the crowd cheering the images of deportees having their heads shaved.”
———————————————————————
Is moments like that, crowd cheering the dehumanization of humans, that illustrate the horrific dangers inherent in all of this. Same people will cheer seeing American citizens sent to El Salvador.

Voltaire:

Anyone who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities’​


I believe, regardless of how far Trump wishes to inspire and elevate the darker angels of our human nature, there will be millions who will just go along. And maybe in any aftermath, maybe their children, maybe their grandchildren, will note the time Americans welcomed atrocities and dehumanization, and were unable to recognize what they were doing, while they were doing it. The age old problem of historical amnesia, and the inability to recognize when your leader is truly an evil man, his life in service to cruelty…..
