I guess I'm required to love the president now, or something?

I'm kind of getting physically ill at all the stuff flying around right now about how he's responsible for peace in Korea - Nevermind that no such thing happened.

I mean, even if I'm being considerably generous and I /give him that/, somehow that erases all the vile, putrid shit that's happened and continues to happen?

Why is it that even in the Bay Area of fucking California, people are saying that "He's getting shit done, and that's why people don't like him"? Why is the overwhelming opinion of this piece of human refuse and all he stands for, and the piles of garbage that put him in power, being regarded as saviors - And that all who are upset about the very real threat these assholes represent are somehow overreacting?

Why does it feel like the whole world is fucking insane?

What I hate most about all this is that this is where my head gets fuzzy. The overwhelming support this establishment has amongst the populous, even in my neck of the woods, makes me start to question my own judgement.

Like, what if /I'm/ the one who's wrong? How would I even know? I'm not sure, but it seems so much more likely than everyone else being wrong.

@Phorm Approval rating 40% dear. That's a record low but it's still a lot of assholes looking at the tire fire and going "Yep that's a cake."

Also two words you should be familiar with: selection bias. You don't have a representative sample.
