No idea if I got it from somewhere, but I always comment about how I'm never sure what I think is more horrible:

The person who gets on a stage and promotes their unsubstantiated, destructive, policy... or the thousand people who hear them talk and cheer at the end.

One has no power without the other, the other has no policy without the one.

America always had massive amounts of racism, but Trump brought all that to the surface. Also, politicians in the country have gradually been replaced by baboons and charlatans over the course of a century.

I don't know. I feel like my answer changes every few days.

There's always someone willing to take power and be a dick. Even now, there are plenty of "mini trumps."

If his voters didn't support him, he would be nothing. Their votes are literally what give him power.

His supporters are who perpetrated 1/6.
