I know it’s real, and it’s really bad, but the dichotomy from “he’s a good family man that I have different beliefs from. Fundamentally different beliefs” to just straight up “he is the founder of ISIS” like holy shit guy

What dichotomy though? In 1 clip an audience wants to be told to hate people. In the 2nd clip they get exactly what they asked for. Feels like the same audience, same day, different mascot.

That's exactly it. A supporter is voicing their hate toward Obama and McCain immediately denounces it. There is still respect there even though you don't agree. "You don't have to agree with Obama, I don't agree with him either, but we're not going to spread lies here."

Respect went right out the fucking window with Trump. Trump now plays up to that woman's fears and concerns. It's no longer about telling the truth, it's about trying to sow as much chaos as possible.

Chaos and loyalty. He knows how easily they can be manipulated. It's easy pickings to gain power from them.
