The Trump Paradox
The Trump Paradox — The idea that after observing his campaign and four years of his administration, people would still vote for Donald J. Trump. This actually isn’t the Trump Paradox, it’s THE AMERICAN PARADOX.
What this actually says is that about 40% of Americans are actually good with antisemitism, chauvinism, jingoism, racism, fascism,
sexism, and unwanted rapey male jism.
If any of the -isms apply to you; the, it is unlikely that you are surprised by this. The people who are surprised by this is the people who would vote for Trump because “he’s a man of his times”; they “don’t necessarily like Trump, but they love his policies”; think “minorities, immigrants and women expect to much”; and that “we should save American for Americans”.
Which just means that they don’t know the meaning of the words: antisemitism, chauvinism, jingoism, racism, fascism,
sexism, and unwanted rapey male jism — or that those words apply to them. Maybe THIS is the true paradox.
With apologies to Emma Lazarus, The New Colossus, The tired, The poor, The hungry, and the huddled masses yearning to be free.

The Trump Paradox: many people hate the man but love his policies — which means they are just hiding their true feeling about society behind smiles and neoliberalism.
