Just to be clear, I think the president is a fraud and a grifter who is attempting to use the fundamentally broken ideology of the far right for his own advantage. We can discuss the absurd details of his agenda all we want, but he is ultimately a symptom and not a cause of really shitty political discourse, or 'politics in the abstract'. There is no reason that progressives cannot fall into the same trap as conservatives have.
