I won’t argue that it reinforcing those feelings and beliefs, as you said, but for the extreme haters who wouldn’t ever vote for him anyway. As for everyone else, it’s a common practice to withhold from them the credit and credibility they’re actually due. We’re not simply a discussion board full of a more advanced type people who can identify and understand what we do, for example the same attempted leftist schemes described in your post. I believe many, many more people now see it for what it is than might have four years ago.
