Just in case you were wondering what you need to believe about Donald Trump to retain your place among New York’s liberal intelligentsia, Adam Gopnik, surely a capable writer, has written a screed to end all screeds explaining the correct belief about Trump.
From the article: "Trump is a villain. He would be a cartoon villain, if only this were a cartoon. Every time you try to give him a break—to grasp his charisma, historicize his ascent, sympathize with his admirers—the sinister truth asserts itself and can’t be squashed down. He will tell another lie so preposterous, or malign another shared decency so absolutely, or threaten violence so plausibly, or just engage in behavior so unhinged and hate-filled that you’ll recoil and rebound to your original terror at his return to power. "
This is maddeningly typical of lefty loons. Trump lies. Trump is threatening violence, Trump is unhinged and hate-filled. They are long on rhetoric, short on facts.
Every time I hear this from lefites, I ask for facts and citations. They can never come up with them, just more rantings. The funniest one, just last week was this example of a Trump lie: He promised to build a border wall in 2017. and didn't. Not when he was opposed at every turn. And in the next breath, the same person tried to convince me that the deluge of illegal immigrants is no big deal. Then why are you getting all bent up on Trump not building a wall? Pretzel logic.
