The words in the article literally disgusted me. We have a person who is willing to sell out this country, harms hundreds of thousands if not millions of innocent people, and a fucking moron to boot, being talked about like he was some underdog who had a witch hunt placed on him. Literally made me sick to my stomach.
I mean, he is definitely person of the year. It's not best person of the year, it's the person that had the most impact. His victory was more sweeping than anyone expected. He gained ground in every demographic. The political parties are likely to be forever changed after that election. I just hope the democrats don't learn the wrong lessons.
Why do it that way, though? It’s always felt like it must have been a retcon to explain why they messed up and went with Hitler in 38. Why call someone horrible “person of the year” and give them more attention. Seems like time could be spent better on someone that had a positive impact.
