The problem is that while Drumpf may or may not have visions of gas chambers (not a mind reader) his legions of supporters have rallied to his side over the rhetoric about walls, torture, mass deportations, banning a specific religion (the second largest in the world I might add). That is a real concern. And why do you not take what Drumpf says when he says these things at face value?
Is it because you don’t want to entertain them because such views and positions are repugnant to you (and me)…?
Because that is the disconnect. You are talking about you, not Drumpf or his followers that want mass deportations. That literally cheer at the thought of torturing enemies. Think about that. They physically attack protesters at their rallies.
Drumpf is tapping into dark impulses. He is playing with fire. Whether he is a child doing it for attention or is a real arsonist at heart is no comfort when a fire is being set.
