People want to believe what they want to believe, and showing them evidence that contradicts what they want to believe just annoys them.
Well Dio....looks like you called it:

Like he called Trump being a genius. Next you can justify "Dio"'s homophobia. This is like reading from Schopenhauer's Art of Being Right. Only you missed that it's a critique and not a gameplan.
You can't grok a clear bit of sarcasm specifically pointed at
your blind trump fanaticism, so unsurprisingly you strawman that sarcasm into yet another rhetorical shuffle. Trump betrays the values of his office, on camera? Trot out a distraction about his opposition being corrupt. Someone calls your zealotry for what it is, and it's
them the believers.
So tell me this then. Believe what? That Trump is no good? As Tom said you don't even need to be a believer. Trump has made that exceptionally easy for anyone who always was indiscriminately skeptical and reserved; by Trump being so unconditionally wrong, regardless one's position on the political spectrum.
Goes right along with MSimon's divine inspiration that Obama would never win. "Control freak"
Trump is disgracing the presidency's standards. While you fall over backwards juggling for any propaganda to justify his disgrace. If having someone in office as president who literally goes to the opposite of the spirit of the office, is not enough to dissent, then
what is? Fanning the flames of racism and homophobia and sexual exploitation, and not only misleading public discourse with the usual political dancing act but actually going full retard with Soviet like propaganda... Saying it's 1984 all over again isn't hyperbole.
What I
suspect is you, like Diogenes, have insider bias. You are either American or North American, undoubtedly westerner, and have never known life outside that sphere.
You think you can do no wrong. You think someone like Trump owns the world. Hell, look at this thread's title.
You cannot see the forest for the trees.
