Being charitable, I think the problem is that this type of politics outrages common sense, so the reaction of sensible people is often to be like "oh this couldn't be happening because its absurd", sometimes that judgment will be correct, of course, but sometimes it will not
I still think the intellectually honest approach to this era and its politics is that it poses real serious challenges to our powers judgment, and its not really that easy to dismiss or encapsulate whats going on with a phrase
Sometimes it's actually harder for people with a record of good judgment and discerning critical powers to see what's going on, because they are relying (correctly in most cases) on common sense to do so much of the work for them
But there’s the worry in some quarters about the political implication of admitting that something special is up with Trump, there’s a sense that would be a concession to the politics of centrism, I think that’s just a bad approach to argument
