I hate that I feel like I have to defend Trump and his supporters.
I'm a staunchly pro-market, pro-open borders, pro-freedom of speech advocate.
He, on the other hand, is a mercantilist xenophobe, who has hiked government spending (more than Obama did, not counting Covid spending), imposed many trade barriers, and made stifling the free flow of labor between the US and other countries his signature issue.
He's a narcissistic sociopath who has a long history of stiffing his contractors, customers, and co-workers. He surrounds himself with criminals, and has used state power to enrich himself and his cronies throughout his career. He's cruel, xenophobic, and extraordinarily dishonest, even for a politician. He lies so often and so shamelessly that I'm not even sure he can recognize the truth.
And yet, as bad as he actually behaves, his opponents can't seem to help themselves--they constantly exaggerate or lie about what he and his supporters have said and done.
Despite themselves complaining Trump stole the last election via Russian collusion, voter suppression, and voting machine tampering, they dismiss out of hand his supporter's concerns that a coordinated conspiracy between the deep state, elected officials, and the media corrupted the election process.
