There is hate on both sides ...

34. That's exactly why I'm sad for those who believe in Trump.

They've been brainwashed by a sophisticated system of propaganda. Messaging from the top on down the chain is consistent with what they see and hear on FOX / RW talk radio. High status people, presidents and their administration's spokespeople, Senators and Congressmen, think tanks and pundits, down through conservative respectable media (WSJ), then to the more scurrilous sources. FOX is in the latter category although many others are far worse.

They hear and see the same points over and over and over from so many. How can we really expect those who bought into the incessant (and successful) marketing against liberal media bias to not believe that malarkey?

I don't respect that, but I don't hold them fully accountable for believing that. Plus if we are going to ever come back from the brink of a cultural civil war, someone has to be the adults in the room, and make up our minds to think of them more as victims than villains.
