Depends on the context. Well . . . for a normal person context would matter. For you the context re Trump is always that he's a racist or one of the phobes or stupid, and always that he is dangerous.
I find him to be a refreshing divergence from the politics as usual that has mostly been a slow erosion of our country's wealth, power, spirit, optimism, and love of freedom, into a debt ridden, self doubting, apologetic, splintered nation of a constantly growing number of government dependents envious of those who succeed beyond the lower middle, and who, along with the anemically educated, social justice indoctrinated intellectual lightweights, are the useful idiots that help drive the transformation of this nation into the Progressive promised land of security and happiness for all--brought to you by our god-like infallible experts who will never fail to give you what you need--what you really need, not your stupid little wishes and desires, you silly boy.
Trump gave us a little reprieve from the anesthetizing media and political mental massaging "good" narrative that molded us into the new age people of the planet, the globe, the world "community."
But, because he frightened them, perplexed them, somehow beyond reason, beyond anything they could comprehend, he somehow defeated their good global person, he brought forth from the depths of this soulless "community" its brainwashed human harpies who screech bad words--racist, homophobe, thisphobe, thatphobe, sexist, misogynist, hater, Nazi, fascist--at him and at those who preferred him to one of their own good "world" persons. And even sometimes, like robots from their hellish bowels, some come forth with black masks and beat his supporters with rods and fists and throwing concrete laden "milk shakes" in their faces and screeching the bad words at them.
So, because Trump has somehow reverted America back to its selfish, jingo, nation centered, capitalist, outmoded individualist, successful, unapologetically wealthy and powerful place and people, the bad words cannot stop. They must continue and grow. They must be thrown at everything he says and does. Every day, every hour. He must be impeached. He must be convicted. He must be removed. He is DANGEROUS.
So how are we to take you?
