I think this is a good piece but that frankly you're still wildly confused. > Absent Trump, the total level of fuckery would decline. no it wouldn't. Trump is a product, a symptom, at most *a* cause by now means *the* cause internet was internetting long before Trump ascended

Yea that part I agree with completely. He’s not particularly skilled or talented — he’s just a massive asshole who has always enjoyed borrowed power
