re: #385 Dr. Matt

For 8 years, the right invented conspiracy theories and stories about Obama to claim he was the “most corrupt POTUS ever”. Today, unequivocally and objectively, we have the most the corrupt POTUS ever and the right are in complete denial. Fucking idiots. Every one of them.

Why Trump Supporters Believe He Is Not Corrupt

The answer may lie in how Trump and his supporters define corruption. In a forthcoming book titled How Fascism Works, the Yale philosophy professor Jason Stanley makes an intriguing claim. “Corruption, to the fascist politician,” he suggests, “is really about the corruption of purity rather than of the law. Officially, the fascist politician’s denunciations of corruption sound like a denunciation of political corruption. But such talk is intended to evoke corruption in the sense of the usurpation of the traditional order.”
