Instapundit - THE TRUMP DANCE AND THE RETURN OF A CULTURAL ICON

There are logical reasons why someone might not agree with Trump politically but the arguments against Trump have been mostly moral arguments casting him as an inhuman character who is beyond redemption. 
It’s why they say “He’s different”: They mean he’s not to be humanized. -  
Hitler is a perfect example of a person we culturally feel comfortable dehumanizing, which is why it’s the go-to comparison for the people who hate him the most. 
It’s a manipulative hypnotizing tactic to convince people to see him as being anything other than human.
  • We’re not supposed to be empathetic to monsters and we don’t give the same level of treatment to demonic characters as we do other people...
