The Trump Conundrum
The man and his supporters thrive on public enmity. And not just on what they spew on others but on what they can focus on themselves. The publicity gives them a platform for their agenda. It is how they fling their lies far and wide, sticking on whoever is gullible. Consequently, fascism is now a vital nuance in the moderate electorate – those moderates who don’t pay attention and become indoctrinated in Trumpism.
Thus, the paradox; we humans love to ridicule Trump and his cohorts. Maybe it keeps us sane; then again, perhaps it doesn’t.
