Definitely an odd duck out in the context of Trump, Obama, Bush II, Clinton, Bush, Reagan.

Also remember it’s not just being charismatic, but charismatic enough to keep people distracted from increasingly unpopular reactionary politics that defy even conservative beliefs (e.g. gun control, speech policing, deficit spending, plenary executive).

Gun control (for minorities), speech policing (for liberals), deficit spending (when they are in charge), and a plenary executive (when Obama isn't president) are core conservative beliefs.

They say that they don't like those things, but you can't listen to what politicians and talking heads on TV say. Politicians and talking heads lie all the fucking time. You have to look at what people do.

They aren't stupid in not understanding the hypocrisy.

We are... for thinking that they don't know that they are hypocrites.
