The official policy of the Trump Administration is ignorant bigotry. We’re asked, under principles including charity, to assume that people support the administration despite that policy, not specifically because of it. I am increasingly unwilling to extend that charity.

I know it's too easy to grow numb to the constant flood of bigotry that comes out of his mouth but it does seem morally important you don't allow yourself or anyone else to become desensitized to this vile racism as a normal part of our politics
Trump on Somalis: "We're gonna go the wrong way if we keep taking in garbage into our country. Ilhan Omar is garbage. She's garbage. Her friends are garbage."

So dangerous to create a personalist regime where no coherent policy is ever made and anyone who contradicts the leader is forced out. The governance of modern societies depends on planning and information flow.

Yes, rich people show no interest in acquiring money. Let's add that narcissists couldn't possibly be interested in lavish praise—they already think the world of themselves! And why would an arsonist start a fire, after having set so many?

the thing is, people really do believe that trump can’t be corrupt because he’s rich, and it is hard to persuade people that trump has a different relationship to money than the rest of us (it is a literal fetish object for him)

These defenses of unprecedented corruption are not only insultingly stupid, they are also deeply undemocratic: Oversight and critical inquiry are deemed illegitimate because “our great leader” would never do this, we ought to be grateful to the “great leader” for blessing us with his presence.

Also it’s just factually true that the modern GOP base is disproportionately low-education voters and their policies are actively anti-education and anti-intellectual. You are allowed to judge people based on their stated beliefs and demonstrated values.
