Yep. It's now easy to empathize with the people in places like Donetsk. Is your 
leader a puppet or not? Before Trump, I found it difficult to empathize. Of 
course our leaders aren't puppets. Sure, we have corporatism, money as speech, 
etc. But *puppet*? Nah, more like a well-trained dog or somesuch.

After Trump, it's easy for me to think of our representatives as puppets and 
swap in and out of empathy with the average citizen in places like Donetsk.

I guess I feel the same way about After Kavanaugh (AK). Before Brett, I chalked 
most talk of originalism vs textualism as nearly metaphysical ... all the 
Justices seemed well-intentioned, however wrong they might (not) be. After 
Brett, they all look like puppets to me.
