Do Trump's supporters actually think he has improved the country in any way?

When I have centrist views about anything (not just politics but more trivial matters like pop culture), I'm reluctant to share them online because extremists on both sides interpret you as an extremist on the opposing side

Random thing I was disappointed by recently. I live near a hospital that has a pizza vending machine near the cafeteria. So whenever I have to go to the hospital for appointments and stuff, I like to get some pizza. I went for an appointment a few days ago but the machine was broken so I didn't get to have pizza.

Why do they not arrest the biggest criminal in the Whitehouse? It would significantly lower the crime rate in DC

People who are proud of not voting make me angry. It's one thing to quietly not vote because you don't think about it. It's a whole higher level to proudly declare you can't be bothered to care about the future of your country

Y2K was a disaster averted because programmers did a lot of work to avert it, but because the disaster was averted a lot of people refuse to believe it would have happened

Each man either shaves himself or is shaved by the barber. The barber only shaves men who don't shave themselves, who shaves the barber? Supposedly the barber can't shave himself because he only shaves men that don't shave themselves.

Well, why can't he shave himself? Only because you said he doesn't. That's not a paradox, that's just making up a set of rules that aren't logically consistent. I can make up logically inconsistent sets of rules too. All ducks have yellow feathers. This duck is all black. How is that possible when I said they all have yellow feathers? Cause it's a rule I just made up! Wow, what a paradox!

A true paradox is something like "this statement is false". If the statement is true, then it's false and if it's false, then it's true. There is no logical solution, it is a true inherent logical problem. The Barber's Paradox, on the other hand, is just making up logically contradicting rules and calling it a problem.
