You’re out because you would have a very difficult time explaining yourself without just admitting you’re a member of a particular team just like I am. I’m a member of the red team, you’re a member of the blue team. You just don’t wanna admit you’re a member of the blue team, you would rather try to explain that your ideology is based on logic, and fact, instead of emotion. That’s not really necessarily true. We create emotions based upon many things and some of that is logic and fact, but after a certain point, it’s ingrained in us and we can’t see logical arguments against our position. I certainly have that weakness and while I try to recognize it and force myself not to fall in that trap, I’m sure that I do. The difference is I admit it you can’t see it. It’s the ultimate example of can’t see the forest for the trees. No point in discussing things with people that know everything and have an excuse for why negative facts about the Trump term are what they are. And then makes accusations that I hate someone. Just because I disagreed with his policies and positions as President doesn’t mean I hate him. My experience with this is that people that accuse others of hate are usually full of hate themselves and project that onto others as their weak defense.
You absolutely do hate Trump so don’t pretend otherwise and I know you don’t know me, but everyone who does would never, ever say i’m full of hate. Actually just the opposite.
And there’s nothing wrong with saying you hate someone or something. Hate is not the opposite of love, that’s very important to understand. The opposite of love is selfishness, apathy, those are the opposites of love, not hate.
That said, people that actually like and support him often share his same personality defects. What they usually won’t admit or say out loud is that they are voting for Trump to make America Great Again (white, racist, sexist, brash, dominating, me-culture, nationalists (not patriots)). So if I understand your position, because I have a different political ideology than you, the only reason you can possibly understand for my point of view is that I am a racist, sexist, bigot? That’s a very simple low-level analysis that isn’t exactly an indication of someone who seems to present themselves in their other comments as a high level thinker above name-calling. But I don’t know, maybe I’m wrong.
Maybe the new slogan should be “MAHA” (Make America Hate Again).
