Trump, America’s exhaust pipe

I heard on the radio how about profoundly divided families were over Trump and Trumpism. 

That caused me to think that the reasons of Trump’s appeal, among “deplorable” folks that still support him, is that he gave them total agency to accomplish, think and validate terrible deeds, like storming the Capitol and trying to kill member of Congress, lying egregiously, finding truth in conspiracy theories and being racist among other misdeeds. 

“My president told me it was okay to act like this” being the umbrella excuse for misbehaving and following dictator Trump’s orders. 

In society, morality, religion, laws, taboos and accepted order keep people from going haywire and it took a Donald Trump to tap into these repressed outlawed or nefarious tendencies among the general population.

A population that defines democracy by being solely surrounded by individuals who think or act like themselves and most importantly resemble them. That’s why Trump, in my view, is our country’s exhaust pipe, a highly toxic one at that, and in a more physiological way, acts more like America’s anus.
