Trump Hatred Explained
By Blaine L. Pardoe
We see it all the time, the vitriol against President Trump. Rage, outrage, digital and physical tantrums… it’s all part of the “We Hate Trump” show. It does cause a sane person to reflect, is there something to this hate? In reality, the truth, like so many truths, is simple. To get there, you have to understand all that came to pass.
For years, the Left has been waging political and social war with America, specifically against conservatives. It first became evident with the forcing of Obamacare down the country’s throat. There was no bipartisanship, no compromise. It was clear from that moment on that members of the Democrat Party didn’t want to work with their colleagues in government. They wanted conservatism to be erased. They desired a one-party system, with them at the top of the pyramid.
Republicans didn’t realize they were at war. When there were conflicts, the Right compromised, gave up a few inches here, a few yards there, all in the thought they were working with reasonable politicians — the “loyal opposition.” In reality, each bit they gave up only encouraged the Left to demand more.
The Democrats always vote in a bloc. They practically goosestep to narratives they put out weekly as their talking points. The media played right along, as did the education/indoctrination system. They were winning a war that the majority of Republicans didn’t know was happening.
Then came Donald Trump.
There are two Trumps, the first and second-term versions. The first term was the non-politician Trump. He was misled into letting career politicians into his camp, people who had no loyalty to him or the nation. While he accomplished a great deal, he was often deceived by his own appointees. He swapped out department heads on a whim, trying to find the right combination.
Trump was a grand target for the Left’s hate. Larger than life, a non-politician wading elbow deep in the D.C. Swamp, he invited ridicule and distrust. He reacted to their hate, which only invited more of it. Trump was an icon for the Democrats, a perpetual target. He would broadcast his intended actions, then carry them out, and the Left would be there, ready to snipe at him with prepared rebuttals, usually leading with words like “chaos” or labels like “racist.” Nothing was too vile to call the man they couldn’t manipulate.
Then came COVID, which was laid on his doorstep. The riots of 2020 were used by the Left to create tension in the country, which they blamed on Trump. When January 6th happened, the Left’s media allies were calling it an insurrection as it unfolded.
