I absolutely adored Trump. I think you misunderstand his attraction. He was colon hydrotherapy for the elite - and they very definitely needed it.
He was everything you say. He was a pretty nasty piece of work. He transgressed every norm of polite behaviour. And that was his attraction. I (we supporters?) looked on in complete disbelief that he could abscond with the US presidency. What a spectacular achievement, the greatest political achievement imaginable. And did he ever go for it - he ridiculed and lambasted, he stumbled and bumbled and rumbled all over conventional wisdom and how the world “should “work.
Please note I agree with our author Caitlin - her writings are nothing if not pained expressions of disbelief about how shitty this world is and how dishonest our ruling class act. Those who do deride Trump always point to his flouting of convention; Caitlin is telling us convention is murderous greed.
Trump for me was a four year tour de force of revenge and retribution : a high colonic.
Yeah yeah he did the usual bullshit of cutting taxes on the rich and generally did nothing to make things better. But for four years the president of the United States called the assholes, assholes.
While I understand your schadenfreude, at times I have it too, the experience was nothing like the colonic you describe. The spread of TDS and TCS was astounding. It is nearly impossible now to have a rational discussion.
Trump Derangement Syndrome: anything that Trump does must be evil.
Trump Cult Syndrome: anything Trump does was inspired by God.
Trump was evil.
Whether or not he was more evil than Hillary would have been, I cannot say.
Please refer to "The Gala Report" post on:
"This phenomenon is sometimes referred to as "shared psychosis" or "folie à millions" (madness by the millions) among followers, a phenomenon that has been well documented by renowned mental health experts such as Carl Jung and Erich Fromm."
The result is we have two "sides" screaming at each other but not acknowledging that both sides have provable points and outright fantasies.
IMHO Trump just piled on with "insanity" making it possible the even greater division between the "sides" of America. This Joe Rogan interview of Jimmy Dore explains: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UiLGSVH_UPA Look at the last 5 minutes for Rogan's talk.
Yeah I gotcha, everyone’s getting in the car already eight out of 10 pissed off.
What you say is right but it loses the majesty of Trump the unauthorized president the bloviating monster thundering down upon conventional politics and basic decency. But that was the point, politeness and convention where the cover-up that our leader Caitlin is railing against.

If only it was that simple. Sigh.
Thank you for that, I very much agree with you, America has become two solitudes.
Why did you dispute my colonic shtick? I thought it was clever and scatological, that’s why I use the word assholes.
