I agree. But that's not what his appeal is.

Anything he does is that. Because that's what he is. You cannot distance his nature from his actions. They are the same.

Unless you're like, "well, Chris Brown beats women, but he's a good singer, so I'll continue to listen his words (which fund him)."

And to those people, I say "fuck you, too".

Oh, you actually see it.

There's an energy niche. More than one, really.

It's rather like a collective emotional complex. It's like Christians and the devil. They're not getting rid of that guy, he's a natural consequence of the underlying concepts Christianity is based on. But ask a Christian, and they'll tell you the devil is the bass guy, and they'll have no part with him. Similarly, the left can't even imagine that the right's behavior is at all tied to them, while they feed it constantly.

One aspect of it is that if some people get lumped in with the devil, that becomes the concept they trust. If the left ignores and demonizes the right all the time, eventually they'll go for the guy that's effectively the bad guy, just because he gives some voice to their issues and occasionally punches the guy that's been fucking with them.

But that's just one aspect of his energy niche. Again, it's a lot like an emotional complex - and until the underlying needs are resolved, Trumo and those like him will not be going away.
