I genuinely have no idea how this guy managed to convince so many trumpanzees to vote for him. Like Nancy Pelosi correctly said, he’s a vile creature: even if you somehow agree with his policies, he’s clearly a terminally nasty and mean misanthrope, and someone nobody with any penchant for nice human contacts wants to spend any time around of. I completely fail to fathom how such a repulsive human being can have such charisma.
But that’s my point: the only emotion Trump elicits in me is nausea and repulsion. And it’s not even a political assessment: he’s simply not a pleasant human being. Why people vote for unpleasant human beings, or find unpleasant human beings somehow appealing, is utterly baffling to me…
I’d place a good chunk of the reason on right wing propaganda channels. When you see stupid or repulsive behavior but then immediately have a talking head to rationalize it away you get a very dangerous alternate reality effect.
Compassionate and capable. Trump is anything but capable.

it’s incredible what people do when they think with emotion and not logic
