> [@Lightnin](#): > > Honestly, I don’t understand how his supporters can read those tweets and still continue to support him. Those aren’t the communications of a healthy mind- hell, it’s just flat-out embarrassing to know that someone who communicates like that represents us to the rest of the world. Ordinary people are either not paying attention or just see it as trolling his political opponents. They don’t care. They don’t see the danger - the danger that American democracy is about to collapse. ---
