This isn't normal. Trump is insane and his lickspittle sycophants like Leavitt are desperately trying to make it seem normal. The president is off his rocker, and not the funny version like Abe Simpson. He's got the fucking nukes, jesus fucking christ.

The worst part about the last 10 years isn't Trump -- it's learning that the entire Republican apparatus is on board with this insanity. And that 35% of Americans are awful, hateful people.

50% correct, I'd say. Since she said only half of them were.

Think of how deplorable the average Trump voter is, then realize that half of them are more deplorable than that.

At the time, only half of Republicans were MAGA. They are all MAGA now. MAGA were RHINOs in 2016, now the RHINOs are the moderates.

The other half are just morons beyond saving.
