I feel the same way with my mother. Love her with all my heart but... Her face literally turns red at the mere mention of Trump. I just don't get the raw hatred. I mean yeah, the guy is not necessarily someone you want to hang out with and is obviously a businessman with his own interests. Hell, so am I. But the media has portrayed him into a complete monster that some seem to dwell on so intensely, that they seem blinded by anything productive from anything other than the blame and attacking anyone who even suggests something positive about the guy. Its really creepy/disturbing to me and obviously leads to getting nothing done. Things stated in this thread are a prime examples.
I mean seriously, how can anyone hope to improve their lives when they are stuck in a place of hatred so deep that they can't even rationalize with a different opinion. When a knee jerk response or blame is a volatile blame like 'racist, greed, Trump, hate' , how the hell are is one able to open their mind to alternate possibilities and expect to have a fair and equal society for themselves or others? Isn't the base supposed to be about acceptance of alternate ideals and personal freedom? Obviously not if it is against what you believe. Then you are subject to the condemnation and all the fairness is thrown out the window because orange man bad.
That is in fact 'the most infantile shit' I have ever seen/heard.
And here we are with the grumpy old man who can't even finish his sentences - if he is even aware of what he is saying or reading. It only recently that some are getting off their horse to admit our new POTUS is not cognitively up for his job at hand. But still, throw out the rock to avoid the reality that is staring them in the face. That is truly just arrogant stupidity at it's worst. Good luck with that...
