Triggering profound curiosity and reflection

I get the point, and it’s not wrong, but.

First, the issue isn’t the victory for the people who voted for him, the issue is the victory for him.

Second, and more urgent, the issue isn’t that the people who voted for him are clearly stupid and evil, the issue is that HE is clearly stupid and evil, especially the evil part. The issue is why do so many people embrace such a blatantly obviously unmistakably horrible person? One with no redeeming qualities? Honestly it’s hard to find people with no redeeming qualities at all – there’s usually something – good jokes or a bit of charm or occasional generous impulses. Something.

So yeah. It does bother me – profoundly – that so many people love such a howling wilderness of awful.
