One year since the coup. My hatred and anger have not subsided, in fact I'm a ball of rage now

35. The divide is real, people have been self-segregating to be with like-minded people

I don't. I avoid bigots but am still in contact with many Trumpers. I've had a slightly different experience that's been less hostile, mainly because I've grown up with these people and knew them before they became bitter and hateful.

We on the left are still thinking about it on policy. The Trumpers don't give two shits about policy. They like the idea of an asshole who breaks the rules and angers certain people and demonizes liberals as the enemy.

Things get really crazy when you start talking with women and minority Trumpers. Some of them also don't care about policy, or even tax cuts, or even Trump himself. They know he's a repulsive asshole with bigoted supporters. They just felt like our side provides more of the same and Trump represents a major shakeup of everything.

Sometimes American voters want radical change. It would be sweet if it was liberal.
