To deny that is well, denial, or naiveté.
I don't hold it against you, I drank the Bill Clinton kool-aid years ago and considered him a hero, until he slashed welfare, deregulated the banks (which led to our recent financial crisis) and started signing "free trade" agreements that sent many of my neighbors jobs oversees. I was naive, defended him against any and all criticism, it took time to realize that he was a man, and humans have flaws, some of them against my best interests and those of the country.
You will realize someday that it is policy, law and liberty that is important rather than admiration for a man that deserves to be called great for having achieved such a position.
Then you will be able to see without blinders obstructing your vision to the mistakes that this HUMAN is making.
I would say I'd pray for you, but I am an agnostic witch so I will light you a candle instead.
