I'm thinking about it more broadly. You're assuming certain things as predicates. You and I can't discuss this issue, I think, because you require that I acknowledge that the GOP has "destroyed the entire system." If I don't accept that predicate, almost all of the rest of what you've written fails.
I don't accept that predicate. It's one of many causes.
You also assert that "three years of constant news of complete corruption and numerous fucking scandals, self-dealing, and favoritism to our fucking enemy" is proof of those things. It isn't. It's news about allegations of those things, and some facts that suggest those things are taking place. But has there been a court finding he engaged in self-dealing? No. Has he acted favorably to Putin? Yes. But has it been proven this is for some nefarious reason? No.
So your points there, which seem to be: (1) that we should all be incensed at this man; and, (2) that anyone who isn't incensed at him is willfully ignorant or complicit in his awfulness, are based on your views. You seem to think no one has any valid reason to disagree with your view that Trump is awful.
But they do. And they can. And unless he's convicted of something or impeached, it's just you and everybody else who hates him telling everyone who doesn't, or doesn't care, how they must think. If you don't understand how this alienates voters on the fence, I fear you might be insane.
I think you're entitled to your opinion. But I think your opinion, that every criticism about Trump should be turned up to 11 and the media should continue to act aggressively as possible in attacking him is smart policy is actually unwise and counterproductive.
Don't be so certain about what you think you know. This is how you wound up with 2016. I knew Hillary was going to win. I was not humble. Hank was the only one who said, "You might be wrong." I suspect most of us made fun of him. Who was right?
