To Dick Cheney and His Ilk: It’s Not About Trump
It’s about the voters you hate and long ago betrayed and abandoned.

In the grips of monomania, psychotic people perseverate on their object of interest. They talk about their enthusiasm incessantly and believe, wrongly, that everyone else is similarly inclined. America’s establishment, left and right, and the media, are obsessed with Donald J. Trump. Trump’s tweets, his pretend press releases, his real ones, doesn’t matter. He occupies every neuron and inflames them. With each sweaty proclamation, the monomaniacs sound increasingly unhinged. Dick Cheney called Donald Trump the greatest threat to humanity and America and all that is good and decent. And also, he’s proud of his daughter because she staked her whole life and career on stopping a politician who is not currently in office and isn’t on the ballot. Vote for the obsessive! She cares!
At risk of writing into the void, it is not about Donald Trump.
Donald Trump has the charisma that American Presidents have. He’s charming, funny, gives good quips, and people want to be around him. He’s likable in the same way Barack Obama and George W. Bush were before him. His humor is criminally underrated mostly because people blinded by implacable hate tend not to laugh. Trump has the timing of a comedian and the self-awareness to know which lines land and which fall flat. The haters have none of this self-awareness. They’re humorless scolds and fearful holy rollers ranting on corners with sandwich boards screeching, “The end is nigh! Get right with the Lord and abandon Trump!”
These folks, experts, just ask them, supported Joe Biden for president. Before him, they supported Hillary Clinton. They wanted the limp biscuit Mitt Romney. Twice.
