To my family who chose Trump over me: Was it worth it? (CNN article)

[hfojvt]

26. seems like an odd complaint to me

and a good example of PDS.

To me, there were lots of good reasons to be against Trump, maybe even to hate Trump, but I always started with the reasons. I did not go looking for a manufactured reason to hate him. This seems to start with the hate and make everything bigger than it needs to be.

I mean, seriously, if the WORST thing Trump did as President was create some extra secret service expenses would that REALLY be an issue to get very upset about? To "disagree sharply" about?

It seems to me that there is a Media Hate Machine that tries to gin up outrage every day about something or other that a President does - because creating hate gets them clicks and viewers. Too many people seem to get sucked into it.

This person seems to complain about a fight that he/she started. So determined to attack Trump, that they also had to attack anybody who would defend Trump. "You're a hypocrite" was the first "incendiary" response.

Then the article concludes by claiming to love this other person, but also that the relationship can only get back together if the other person apologizes.
