The irrational hatred of Trump and his supporters

 Sasha Stone:

“Are you a Trump supporter now?” is the question my friends, acquaintances, and colleagues sometimes ask me. I know the answer to that question could end our relationship. So do they. Most of the time, they just don’t ask. They quietly assume that I might be, but what they don’t know can’t hurt them.

Since 2016, being labeled “Trump supporter,” has given most people the green light to cut ties, publicly humiliate, attack, and dehumanize at will. What you will rarely see on the Left is empathy. What has become all too common is unfiltered, bottomless hatred. In too many cases, physical violence, and destructive protests, all justified and encouraged by the ruling class.

2020 was the breaking point for me. I could no longer go along with it, especially after getting to know Trump supporters, and watching enough rallies to know the truth about who Trump really is.

And now, after the Colorado decision to throw Trump off the ballot, there has been a terrifying escalation in how they plan to deal with Trump and MAGA. What started as “cancel culture,” where due process was tossed in favor of trial by mob has spread to the government, infecting it like a parasitic fungus that ultimately kills its host.

From censorship to their treatment of the political protesters of January 6th, to what they’ve done to this country’s Justice Department, much of its culture, its universities, and the minds and bodies of children, it’s time to say ENOUGH.

It was already enough when the sitting President of the United States was banned from Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube. It was enough when they raided Mar-a-Lago when they convicted Trump in a show trial on primetime television that idiots on the Left now seem to believe counted as a real trial.

The four indictments are ENOUGH. Two impeachments are enough. Scaring the public every day, whipping up mass hysteria just for clicks, just for engagement, just for ratings is ENOUGH. Robert DeNiro’s ongoing freak-outs are enough. Stephen Colbert’s unfunny jokes are enough. A culture that has destroyed itself over an imaginary monster they invented is enough.

And yes, removing Trump’s name from the ballot in Colorado is ENOUGH. This moment should wake up every American to the mass delusion we’ve all been forced to live with since 2016. The cure to Trump is now what it’s always been: offer the people something better.

But the power center in this country can’t do that because what people want is relief from them. Not all of them. There are some good Democrats out there, like John Fetterman, Dean Phillips, and RFK, Jr., but they are too few and too far between. The ruling oligarchy now stands in their way because that is how little they trust democracy.
...

It turns out that the biggest threat to Democracy is not Trump but his haters who don't want people to have a chance to vote for the person they support.  Much of this hate is coming from the supporters of Joe Biden who is easily one of the worst presidents in history along with the people pulling his strings.

These people also hate free speech when it is someone with a different point of view talking.  Between their war on real democracy and free speech, they are the real threat to what makes America a free country.
