[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe you should recognize the reasons why he resonates with his supporters. If the root causes of their discontent could be addressed, maybe they wouldn’t be so persuaded by him. [/quote]

Maybe they are just… bad people?

Why doesn’t anyone consider this is possible?

This country has always had lots of bad people.  Look how much Jim Crow laws were accepted and how hard people fought against desegregation.

Some percentage of the electorate is just lousy and have to be dragged into civilization by the rest of us kicking and screaming.[/quote]

Or, maybe they just believe different things than you and think that things are going in the absolute wrong direction like  most of the country. 
The left believes that a man can declare himself a woman and then compete in women's sports.  I personally think that is crazy, but I don't think the left is bad because of it.  
Many on the left thinks that illegal immigration isn't an issue and we should allow illegal aliens to live and work in the US.  I personally think that is crazy and a risk to our economic and national security, but I don't believe the left are bad people because of their beliefs.  
There are many beliefs the left, collectively, has which I am vehemently opposed to, but I don't think they are bad people.

The problem here is that the right thinks the left are decent people with bad policies and the left thinks the right are just bad people.  
This thread pretty much confirms that. [/quote]

Unfortunately, I’ve seen evidence that there are people on the extremes on both sides who believe that the people on the other side are bad and evil. The OP is an example of the many on the extreme left who believe that people on the right are bad people and there are those on the right who believe the same about the left.

Personally, I believe that those on both sides who feel this way are ridiculous and somewhat unhinged.
