I'm trying to work out how ordinary people can support the worst American ever

We who follow this website spent the whole of 2025 wondering how it’s possible for anyone – much less seemingly a full third of the American populace – to support a literal monster named Donald Trump.

It appears to have little to do with his policy or ideology, both of which are nonexistent. No, this is about the man, a person who utterly lacks sensitivity, compassion, empathy, ethics, integrity, decency, and depth.

He looks to have been biologically denied the gene that produces genuine humanity.
