Letter: Trump supporters see no alternative

Current uncivility: It seems to be the extreme president versus the extreme left.

I don’t know whether President Donald Trump is insane or a genius, or just has an impure arrogance born of insane privilege — or a little of all three.

However, his presidency is a product of the media and the perceived desperate fight for survival against the extreme left. The bottom line is that Trump’s supporters feel that they have no choice but to hold their noses and support Trump no matter what, because who else is there?

Trump supporters have seen the riots by the extreme left if their candidate does not win, assassination attempts at a Republican charity baseball practice, dangerous campus disruptions so a conservative speaker cannot speak, and the movement to simply ignore law if one does not agree.

Until someone else comes along, Trump will continue to have a strong core.
