OPINION:
It must be convenient to personalize everything. It has been my view that the hatred of Trump supporters predated former President Donald Trump’s entry into politics. One can discern this hatred in Barack Obama’s campaign statements as well as in his policies.
It has been our awareness of being hatefully turned on by our nation’s institutions that propelled Mr. Trump to the presidency in 2016.
What everyone seems to miss is that Mr. Trump is not a cause. He is an effect of a cause which is that hatred.
