First, Ann Althouse again gets points for stating what should be obvious, but apparently isn't:
Isn't it interesting that therapists are seeing the reaction to Trump as a disorder?! And that Politico framed it that way.Emphasis in original. People get into a sputtering rage about everything Trump says. They aren't even paying attention to what he's actually doing. It's a bizarro world version of this scene in the movie "Miracle":
Maybe mainstream media is noticing a lot of people who feel the way I do, that the antagonism to Trump is so over-the-top that it's weirder than Trump. We turn away... and toward the man we originally resisted because he was too weird.
There's one exception, of course -- the sputtering rage is motivating ongoing stupidity, not improved performance. It's the aside at the end of the scene that matters.
Closer to home, you might have seen Erin Murphy's campaign ads on television over the weekend. I had to grab a screen image of the ad, because it fascinates me:
All the white people clap your hands on the four, now |
