If the best plumber in town is an ass, but I know he'll be in and out quickly and for a price I can live with, I'll hire that plumber. But being President is about more than fixing shit. (I disagree that he's capable of fixing anything, but that's a separate argument.)
Having a horse's ass represent us internationally made me, personally, unhappy. I don't know if it bothered you. There really is such a thing as diplomacy, which involves respecting other countries' sensibilities. Almost by definition, an ass isn't capable of such diplomacy and maybe only in hindsight can you see how happy the world is that we'll have a more humble public servant for a little while.
An ass flouts science. He's got blood on his hands. You haven't quite come around to concede that the way he reacted to the pandemic was shameful.
My political priorities are different from yours, so to debate the merits of party would get us nowhere. I'm what they call a single-issue voter. Climate change is real, it's going to fuck up everyone's shit: yours and mine. Black and White. Rich and poor. If you think Covid-19 wreaked havoc on our economy, imagine all the anticipated hazards of warmer, higher oceans. So seeing Trump pull out of Paris and defecate on other regulations effected by concerned politicians is reason #1 (of many, frankly) that I despise our erstwhile head of state.
So, no, Trump's personality doesn't affect me directly. I can hate his Stable Genius ass on policy first, if that makes you feel better. Not wearing a mask and discouraging others from masking up, though,
has affected me. I haven't been able to see my 87-year-old father since March because he let this goddamn thing go out of control. He did. We both know it.
So now an honest question for you. How did Obama's 8 years fuck up
your shit?
