Off topic, but why do so many statements about Trump contain the word "Literally!"?

He either funded Trump in which case one could just say so, or else he didn't.

"Literally" appears to be some sort of emphasis or "alarm" term?

"He's literally Hitler!" (no, he's literally not).

Also, he contributed to a politician you don't agree with. So what? Did someone else "Literally!" fund Joe Biden? Does that "Literally!" make them bad people?

Some people find it shocking and implausible that someone would actually vote for Trump. It is also important to distinguish between people who voted for a centrist democrat, and therefore practically voted for Trump.
