I would say my entire basis in defending Trump originated in my perception of fairness. I percieved false information in the media, in stark contrast to what I saw myself. And it has only piled on for years. I saw how Democrats forgave the same attocities in their own, that they accused Trump of. I saw incredible amounts of devisiveness, and appeal to emotion to abuse the audience's sense of morality. But at the same time, I understand and appreciate different personality types. Everyone has flaws, everyone can be a jerk. I am far more tolerant of people with bad personalities, than the side who preaches tolerance and acceptance. If the Left actually practiced what they preach, they'd accept that Trump's personality, while harsh and arrogant, is not entirely his fault. What happened to "Be yourself"? What if you are an asshole? It's not fair, in my opinion. So this had me questioning, what else does the Democrat party and Liberals believe that contradict their words? Mind you, I didn't even start following politics till 2015. But boy did it open my eyes to the deceits that preys upon the American public. The media's subtle psychological manipulation, with the use of authority in areas like Universities, and proclaimed scientists and professors. I knew there was hardly and recognition and double checking these facts, but they were already espoused as truth. Layers and layers of deception, half truths, manipulation, and straight up lies.
I don't blame anyone that fell for them, the majority of people have. The more you try to untangle it, the more half truths and lies you uncover. There is no end to it. It is too complicated for anyone to do so. So to approach this, I looked at it from a human nature perspective. I gauged actions based on my common sense, and loyalty and intentions. I didn't have to unravel the infinite lies, to see and predict what people were doing wrong in the moment. Trump has been consistant in his actions, and acts strategic to control how the media reacts to him. He could wave his hand, snd get a weeks worth of coverage by a single tweet. Then while the media is distracted, he'd do something great like pass a law, and the media didn't cover it because they don't want to give him positive coverage. Trump is completely justified in these tactics, because the media and his opponents play dirty. The Impeachment started on an illegitimate basis, and was shot down because of such. The FBI violated Trump's constitutional rights. Trump's actions be damned, two wrongs do not make a right.
