Donald Trump’s totally unmitigated bullshit stream is “not a bug — it’s a feature.”
Sam Harris: “In large measure the Trump cult is a response to some of the excesses we’ve seen on the left. I consider myself liberal more or less across the board. But the identity politics and political correctness we’ve seen on the left has clearly created a backlash,” and so Trump and his supporters are basically saying they’ve “just had enough. But in this instance the cure, if you will, is much worse than the disease here. Identity politics on the left is now ushering in a [theology] of white identity politics, not just in America but in many western countries…we need to find some path in which our common humanity is the only basis upon which we reason and decide our path into the future.”
