But that’s my point: the only emotion Trump elicits in me is nausea and repulsion. And it’s not even a political assessment: he’s simply not a pleasant human being. Why people vote for unpleasant human beings, or find unpleasant human beings somehow appealing, is utterly baffling to me…
I’d place a good chunk of the reason on right wing propaganda channels. When you see stupid or repulsive behavior but then immediately have a talking head to rationalize it away you get a very dangerous alternate reality effect.

I agree with you. I still can’t make sense of it and I don’t understand how he is seen as having charisma. Even his voice is repulsive.
He’s so fake and slimy in his mannerisms.
Only thing I can figure is that many people just don’t perceive him this way and find him warm and personable.
