   Copy that — I’m not a Trump fan, either, but nor am I a Trump hater.

   That’s part of politics. The chances of any politician being even 90 % worth voting for are rather remote, so I’m rather selective these days about who receives my votes.

   I didn’t vote for Trump in 2016, I put on the HAZMAT suit and filled in the little circle next to Johnsonism-Weldism “for the good of the Party.” Fat lot of good that did me — first time in 20 years that I’ve thought voting for the LP candidate was a waste.

   With that in mind, Trump is doing a wonderful job of pissing off the deep-state types (Victor Milán referred to them as the “permanent government.) and a good bit of the identity politics people.
