The only subjectivity of consequence is the Republican base. They are NOT in allegiance to Trump's wealth, nor under the influence of Putin. They are under the influence of a delusion
of alternate facts created by Putin, embraced by Trump for reasons you stated, and promoted by Fox News plus all the ancillary BS outlets who profit spewing falsehoods the peasant class
consumes. The only ulterior motive animating the GOP base of deplorable peasants is hate and resentment. Trump's objective outward communications and the extent to which
they represent his true introspection is highly irrelevant, all that matters is the undue influence they have on his herd of cattle and their behavior. The only thing that can save the US
is to cause the deplorables to see their error and repent. Outside of that, only their complete marginalization can allow us to limp along.
That after this incredibly artful public demonstration of Trumps criminality staring the deplorable cattle right in the face does not move them in the least I have almost zero hope this republic can survive.
I know the best, brightest, most moral, high info consuming citizens cannot tolerate much more of being ruled by an incompetent insane criminal. This shit MUST end.
