“I am not vulgar and deranged. It just looks like I am.” Commander in chief-Presidents commonly have their intelligence questioned and less frequently question their intelligence. Skipping the pettiness of mentioning names, the absurd has been normalized, providing cover for disgusting, shameful behavior that would expel an adolescent from grammar school.
It works because it works, which redefines logic like crossing a vole with a mole and expecting an elephant. That probably won’t happen anytime soon. Regardless, thousands line up for a glimpse of a rodent with a trunk, which is in itself absurd but relatively harmless.
Believing in genetic superiority and nukes is far from harmless, and much more likely to Make Extinction Great Again.
