Who says I’m a journalist? My background is in philosophy, and philosophy isn’t about reporting surface facts while feigning neutrality. Philosophy is about getting to fundamental, potentially disturbing truths.

Also, I don’t just call Trump bad names. I link to my other articles where I justify my use of them, by explaining the nature of evil and of authoritarianism, the recent history of the Republican Party and of the American culture war that led to Trump, how people of good will should deal with the appalling spectacle of Trumpism, and so on.
