This whole article is spot on. It made me think. Trump is definitely a silly, weird, funny person. He's very entertaining. If he had stuck to being an entertainer and stayed out of politics, I wouldn't feel so upset about him.

So I guess that's why some people don't seem to understand the danger Trump presents to America. I've been wondering about that. I've wondered why so many people are willing to vote for him despite how unhinged, blatantly dishonest, and cruel he is. But this article gives one answer to that question, which is that Trump is so funny and entertaining that for some people, that's all they see. They don't see him as a threat. They think he couldn't be *that* bad.

Of course, this doesn't make sense. Yes he really is that bad. Yes he really is that dangerous. Just because he does funny things doesn't mean he's not also dangerous. We can laugh at the silly things he says and does while also recognizing the fact that he's a threat to democracy, a threat to the rule of law, a threat to our NATO allies, and so on.
