He once mocked a reporter with cerebral palsy. That alone should have been the end of him as a candidate, but somehow his followers were just fine with that. So they’re probably just fine with him being abusive to women.
It’s pretty well known that he raped Ivana during his first marriage and that he has publicly talked about both his daughters in crude sexual terms. So yeah, he was and probably still is a monster at home.
Yes, they’re fine with it - because they don’t consider disabled people, women, black people (or any other PoC), non-Christians, well, the list goes on, as “people”.
That’s correlation, not causation. If it were causation then ‘they’ wouldn’t be fine with him making fun of able male white christians and he treats those people shitty as well. There is a reason they are fine with it, but it’s something else i reckon.
Oh, it is causation though. You’re just forgetting an important element - namely that Dear Leader can do no wrong. If he’s making fun of a seemingly person person, then Dear Leader must know something that brings this somebody below personhood, therefore is right to make fun of them.
The most screwed up thing is that doesn’t even matter, because its old news. Decades of lying and controversy (predating his political candidacy) somehow… don’t meet the attention threshold for algorithms? Is that the phrase?
It’s especially weird because I have older relatives that knew way more about “pre politics Trump” than I did, and now all that is forgotten somehow.

And making fun of non-people is perfectly okay.
