We don't dislike him for the crimes, the corruption, the evil agenda, the incompetence.
We are going after him just because we are hateful people.
That question to Pelosi was not in a vacuum.

(1,660 posts)Trump, his minions and his fans have been vomiting that bile since 2017. Mostly because it had been pointed out that simply taking the Oath of Office put him in violation of the Constitution from Day One.
The thing is all Trump had to do was be on the up-and-upyou know: NOT committing crimes 24/7and he would have been fine. His fans would have been all fuck your feelings just like they are now and the rest of us would have just had to accept it. There would be no investigations, no whistleblowers, no indictments. Hell, he might even GAIN some support for 2020. Even score a REAL landslide (400 Elactoral Votes or more) instead of the imagined one he always brags about.
But no, he has to be Donald Trump. Dick-and-a-half. His face is so punchable, I even hate that hes required by law to have Secret Service protection. A good, firm ass-kicking would solve at least half the problems most reasonable people would have with the guy.
But thats not why hes being impeached. Donald J. Trump is being impeached because hes a crook. And not even a GOOD one. The only reason he hasnt been removed and jailed is the same reason he got elected in the first place: this country is so polarized we cant even see straight. Makes me wonder if well still be a nation in ten years time. Or will we be a Russian territory or something...

(16,984 posts)Lindsey Graham has been using it, and I encountered it on Facebook I don't know how many months back.
It's supposed put people on the defensive, or distract from the issues, or perhaps serve as yet another complaint that Trump is being treated unfairly.
Speaker Pelosi dealt with it adroitly, but her approach won't work for everyone, so it's best to come up with a variety of techniques to deal with it, starting with the ethical and constitutional context.

(41,959 posts)Hate...as Nancy Pelosi said, its a tough word. I try not to let my mental health suffer for his existence but hes dangerous, sadistic, authoritarian, contemptuous and a hoard of things I do hate. But they never ask why. Its utterly disingenuous. Its a catch phrase. An accusation. They want it that way.

(18,890 posts)RWers 'HATE' They Hate anything that does not fit into their worldview. Their worldview has been programmed into them via the Faux/rush IV.
They have been taught to Project all of the putrid, nasty and toxic crap inside of them onto the ' OTHER' - the 'other' that is working for a better world.
The cognitive dissonance is more than their fragile minds can handle.

(50,552 posts)We hate what he stands for.
We hate his money-grubbing excuse of a family.
We hate his continuous criminality.
And we hate how he's turned America into the laughingstock of the world.
Here's the best part: All the people who claim we're impeaching Trump because we "just hate" him (because it has nothing to do with the fact he makes Warren Harding and Richard Nixon look like honorable men) hated Obama with a passion and, if they're old enough, hated Clinton even more.
