I definitely think Trump is a narcissistic asshole. I’m a classical liberal. (But free-thinker.) I have my critiques of Biden, too. I LOATHE woke identity politics. Wokeism is not liberalism. The ‘polite society’ elite trust-fund moral purity tests are asinine. Here’s another point: Even though I think Trump’s an asshole, I DO understand why half the country voted for him. This is the biggest blind-spot for Dems: They simply cannot see their part in this. Ask not why so many millions voted for Trump; ask instead why so many DIDN’T vote for Hillary. Then you’ll get into the territory of critical thinking and empathy. Ask also why non-white voters (especially Hispanics) are shifting more and more to the Republican side. What are the Dems doing wrong? (A lot.)

I write about this kinda stuff on my Stack.

But let's be fair, most politicians are narcissistic assholes, Biden included.

Yeah sure but Trump has a unique history. Look at his past. Ya know? Is Biden perfect? Absolutely not. But that seems like a weak comparison lifestyle wise. Trump has always been solely into Trump.

Well Biden is no pauper at a worth of about 9 million, and he's been in politics all his life.

I see Trump as the narcissistic, bombastic surgeon who will save a patient's life.

Biden is the quietly narcissistic bumbling surgeon who loses the patient on the operating table.
