This is quite amazing to me since it seems to be the actual case. The people who were saying we shouldn’t listen to him, but watch what he does, were openly advocating for a man whose word they know means nothing. It’s perplexing. Politicians are an untrustworthy lot one and all, but god damn, the open and naked willingness to vote for someone whose position they can’t know, whose promises carry absolutely no weight, that’s truly stupendous.

They are at once admitting Trump says horrible shit, but also that he’s an inveterate liar and that makes it better somehow. Both him being honest and dishonest should be equally disturbing. That’s some next level cognitive dissonance.

Glad I’m not the only one. I read the first part and stopped, because I was getting nothing out of it. I have no intention of finishing that book.
