The Trump Paradox — The idea that after observing his campaign and four years of his administration, people would still vote for Donald J. Trump. This actually isn’t the Trump Paradox, it’s THE AMERICAN PARADOX.
What this actually says is that about 40% of Americans are actually good with antisemitism, chauvinism, jingoism, racism, fascism,
sexism, and unwanted rapey male jism.
If any of the -isms apply to you; the, it is unlikely that you are surprised by this. The people who are surprised by this is the people who would vote for Trump because “he’s a man of his times”; they “don’t necessarily like Trump, but they love his policies”; think “minorities, immigrants and women expect to much”; and that “we should save American for Americans”.
Which just means that they don’t know the meaning of the words: antisemitism, chauvinism, jingoism, racism, fascism,
sexism, and unwanted rapey male jism — or that those words apply to them. Maybe THIS is the true paradox.
With apologies to Emma Lazarus, The New Colossus, The tired, The poor, The hungry, and the huddled masses yearning to be free.
The Trump Paradox: many people hate the man but love his policies — which means they are just hiding their true feeling about society behind smiles and neoliberalism.

As long as a certain group of people is seating in the parliament, you are told that the only option you have is to vote for NLD which will be getting rid of them sooner or later. But one of them had already spoken out publicly that unelected 25% which was provided with seats according to the unjust constitution they said, are too crucial in this game to be disposed and reconciliation with military faction is politically suggested method to avoid bloodshed as little as possible, which on the other hand neglects all the social class struggles and identity politics happening around us.

Pineapple : Why would you say so ?

A scenario where you ask Rick Astley for a copy of the Disney Film "Up", meaning that Rick Astley will either have to "Give you up" or "Let you down", therefore creating the Astley Paradox.

A situation involving a giant bowel movement that is contradictory and puzzling.
Kevin loved Taylor Swift but he couldn’t find anywhere to have a big shit at her crowded concert. If he couldn’t shit soon he felt like he was going to die. It was a buttblast paradox.
