Hatred

Hatred....It's an ugly emotion. President Obama had a goal of eliciting hope among Americans. Trump, on the other hand, has worked to elicit hatred from Day one. His most ardent supporters hate minorities, liberals, and simple human decency. Now, keep in mind that I said his most ardent supporters...he does have supporters that aren't so filled with hatred...they just either don't pay attention or they buy into ridiculous conspiracy theories. Trump's supporters aren't the only ones who Trump elicits hatred in. The rest of us hate his corruption, his racism, his history of sexual assault, his attacks on the Constitution and those of us who swore oaths, fought, and died to defend it. 
Regarding Trump's worshippers however, many of us do hate them because of their allegiance to him. I don't hate them however. Trump is the closest thing to the Antichrist we've seen since Hitler and while I'm not religious myself, most of them are...and the Bible is very clear on what happens to followers of the Antichrist. I don't hate Trump worshippers...the ones I don't know don't even register as being worthy of eliciting my hatred. When it comes to the Trump worshippers that I do know, though...It's complicated. I don't hate them...I'm disappointed in them and if there's a heaven and a hell,  I feel sorry for them and hope they wake up before It's too late.
