It makes perfect sense. Donald Trump is a ghoul with no regard for other human life. His condition is not unique- it seems to exist in most people who seek positions of power and wealth. It makes sense because to obtain power and wealth you have to trample a lot of people.

That's pretty simplistic I know, and I'm not saying vile racism was never a problem before 2008. But from my view Republicans have turned up the heat and Democrats have stood pat on their level of not giving a fuck, because to them that's normal.
ranglecat.bsky.social (@ranglecat.bsky.social) reply parent
Both parties have historically served to benefit the upper class which had never included minorities until recently, so they never really cared too much. Then a black man became president, the Republicans became disgustingly racist, and the Democrats have been calmly around them to chill ever since.
ranglecat.bsky.social (@ranglecat.bsky.social) reply parent
Democrats have largely government the same as Republicans, but haven't been as vile with their bigotry because ultimately Democrats don't care if women get abortions or if black people want proper rights. Everyone else they're willing to sell out, especially immigrants and trans people
