Bingo! Trump’s enemies still don’t get it. They are frigging clueless to the plain and simple fact that viciously attacking him only energizes his base – us. It happens every time. Happened throughout the campaign, as you point out. Yet they still keep doing it, delusional in believing THIS TIME it’ll work. Einstein defined insanity this way.
The left (I include the media) is so full of themselves that they can’t even imagine that their influence over people is dwindling. They are that sure of themselves, that arrogant, that it doesn’t even occur to them that their words are not the be all and end all.
