“For Trump, the only freedom that matters in this election is his personal freedom. He’s conducted himself throughout the campaign under an assumption that he’d win. Imagine how destructive he’ll become if he starts to believe that he’s headed for defeat, followed by criminal trials, bankruptcy, and imprisonment.”

      I can’t stand it when people use that descriptor for Trump either. I have no problem making the blanket statement that if you find that asshat charismatic then you’re just as big of a piece of shit as he is.

        He’s a terrible person. Selfishness promoted as self interest. Charisma isn’t an inaccurate description. I don’t understand how people fell in love with Hitler either. Fascism is some bad shit yo, seems to run around cults of personality. Feel bad for the ones drug into it.
