I think it's fascinating personally. He's a living embodiment of the rejection of objective truth. The media portray it as him tearing down that pillar of modern society, but I think it's much more a case of him exposing the erosion of it in wider society. He himself rejects it but he also clearly recognises huge portions of the population do too. Exposing that is ultimately good for society I think. It hasn't quite led to a constructive discussion but I think it will.
I agree it's fascinating. I keep reading on Twitter that "this is not America" whenever the latest outrage or lie is being perpetuated but the truth is it is, at this present time, America (or at least enough if it for this to be happening) Ultimately good will come from this we hope but I fear for the USA, and the world, that there is far more damage to come. It's extraordinary, and hugely depressing, to think that this man could actually be reelected.
