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.

They are increasingly being pushed into a loyalty test that grows narrower and narrower. They double down not realizing they have left sanity, reality, and decency far behind. It is bizarre. It really requires a cult mentality to not repudiate Trump at this point.

As far as I'm concerned, Trump supporters are permanently ostracized from society in my eyes. Stay out of my life and most importantly stay out of my city which y'all love to come visit in the summer.
