Maybe everyone has been, for generations, conditioned to accept the manner by which conventional politicians speak. Perhaps career politicians are better at ensuring they pick their words wisely or not stray from the script.The problem is Trump is a know nothing type of bloke. And no matter how profoundly ignorant his statements, his followers clean up behind him "he didn't mean it" "he actually meant this..." "he's joking" "he's not meant to be taken literally ". This has the effect of normalizing the routine moronic statements he utters. OK, then wtf does he mean? Nothing and everything? You can't pick and choose. All you do is muddy.
Here is what he says. Trump has stated he's dumping the constitution, replacing the government with people loyal to him (not the US constitution) will use all arms of the government to crush his political opponents. He'll invoke the insurrection act to use the military to crush domestic opposition. He believes the presidency is above the law (for him, not for Biden or democrats). This is fascism.
Note almost everyone who worked for Trump says he's absolutely unfit to be president. Those who disagree are those felons he's pardoned, or those currently under indictment.
Think about it. Clearly. It's not derangement. It's quoting the man and HIS followers. Not democrats.
.
It basically boils down to whether a person takes what Trump says literally or not. Do they take the words more literally than the message?
It's really that simple.
Then consider bias.
If someone already hates the guy, then of course everything he says will be magnified to suit their own cognitive bias. It works the other way as well.
For example, one might consider Trump like that crazy uncle that can say things in a strange way, but underneath it all, they actually make sense.
or
simply think the uncle is nuts and leave it at that without any further consideration.
Would you rather someone be themselves good & bad? Or try and fool you by speaking eloquently?
Everyone has their preference.
