I am fine with any approach, myself. I honestly don't know what to make of politics any longer. Perhaps I'm one of those liberals who is supposedly too insulated to have seen it coming, but I didn't think Trump could win the Republican nomination, let alone the general election.

Trump himself seems almost Parody-proof. How do you take him to absurd levels beyond what we have already seen?

It wasn't just liberals who mis-read the situation, obviously. That's what made the moment so insane; conventional wisdom absolutely failed to see what was coming. It's kind of hard to argue against bias in mainstream media or other traditional institutions when they got something so incredibly wrong.
