You love it because it fulfills you. You must have an enemy, it is a necessary part of evolved human nature. It is in our chimp brains.

Now you have an enemy, the dopamines rush in each time you think of him -- and you can feel that your thoughts are wildly important, and simply because they are in opposition, your brain rewards all this. No matter whether it's actually sensible to be against a medication because the POTUS mentions it -- or, really, sensible to have spent any time considering it at all. The fight is the important thing.

It's a brain reaction; it's addict behavior. And so you assist him in stealing the oxygen from the room for any other topic. As they say, he's living rent-free in your head since 2016. And that is how he wins.
