I've concluded if Trump were an erudite fitness model there would be little resistance to his policies. The hashtag resistance consistently exposes the nature of its opposition to be mostly cosmetic.

Yep. This is why I do not school with liberals, but rather school liberals.

If Trump were “cool” like Obama, most liberals (90%+) would fall right in line with the current policies. Sure, you’d hear minor protests and bellyaching here and there — but mostly, nothing.

Note once again that I very much am not a Trump supporter and have the same thoughts about him as I did about Obama: that he is a banker-coddling extremely corrupt war criminal.

But Trump is ugly and kind of repellent; louche and déclassé. That is enough in the average liberal mind to condemn him. For whatever reason, liberals are appearance-obsessed. This includes physical appearance and extends to the intellectual appearance of ideas, no matter their policy results.
