(182,970 posts)He said things loud and it was all so SIMPLE or it used to be.
Of course I didn't know what sarcasm was (I soon would) so maybe that explains why Republicans still cling to this fake TV character* - they just don't get satire, sarcasm, or irony AND they are mentally and emotionally childlike.

(24,774 posts)The Tangerine Tyrant is a vicious criminal (who never was held accountable for his endless series of crimes) who also is a dirty coward and a genocidal bigot to boot.
Archie was a bigot, but not so much that it crossed the line to genocidal thinking.

(3,747 posts)he was widowed. He never cheated on her. He worked hard for a living to support his daughter and her husband who lived in his home. He called his wife a dingbat, but never "a fat pig". He was racist and homophobic...but he wasn't a con man. And he paid his taxes and his bills.
