There is no actual human as bad as him with anywhere near his power- need to go to fiction.

I think this is a good post. The idea that there are people out there who support Trump for transaction reasons seems pretty silly. Most conservatives will support the guy if he shoots someone on 5th Avenue or colludes with Russians for two years and lies about it. The mainstream media doesn't really know what to do with that, because their notional audience is a bunch of centrist who are not wedded to either party and who could vote either way depending on the circumstances. That audience doesn't exist, and most conservatives are not participating in the discourse in good faith. For Democrats, it means you stop trying to persuade those people to change their minds, and focus on motivating and mobilizing the majority of voters who don't like Trump.
