That Trump is a criminal and a terrible President isn’t controversial. His defenders in congress, on TV and at the bar don’t try to refute any of that. It is a given. Braying idiots like Matt Gaetz who defend Trump know how awful he is, they like the awful.
Trump defenders are not trying to fuck with your head. They simply don’t think Trump should be in trouble for being a criminal and a terrible President. They knew he was going to be a criminal and a terrible President when they voted for him. Defending Trump isn’t an exercise in denying reality. It is an embrace of reality.
