You speak of the 2 polor opposites both of which are drowning in their own hatred of others not like them. The true Nevertrumpers....people that really really hate the man and everything he does. Most of those are on the Left, but not all. Then you have those that hold him up as a messianic figure, who can do no wrong, and anyone who speaks ill of him is doing the devils work.
In absolute fairness, Donaldus Minimus isn't even close to being the first president to whose sycophancy
no wrong can be done and no criticism can be honest or honourable. Nor is he the first president to whose
opposition no credit whatsoever can be due. And, alas, he won't be the last.
Since there seems to be an epidemic of whataboutism here and elsewhere, I'll contribute only by reminding
anyone who cares that we saw the same syndromes attached to the sycophancies and oppositions to His
Excellency Al-Hashish Field Marshmallow Dr. Barack Obama Dada, President Lips II, and Droopy-Drawers
Clinton, to name merely three. To their sycophancies, they could do no wrong. To their opponents, they
could do no right.
The real problem---aside from the president himself, who seems to have a genius for following one or two
reasonable doings with one or two hundred (if not thousand) unreasonable ones---is that we're still stuck
in presidential cult mode, gazing upon the office and its holder as some sort of temporal saviour . . . if not
our boss. The sooner we cease to live in presidential cult mode, the sooner we might actually see a tangible
turn toward, you know, restoring things that
really matter.
Things like freedom.
Things like individual rights and responsibilities.
Things like a properly-construed
government---you know, one whose sole legitimate business
(aside from protecting us from enemies actual or provably iminent abroad and predators at home,
real predators if you please, not mere vicemongers) is
staying the hell out of your business,
my business, every person's business,
until or unless one would obstruct or abrogate another's
equivalent rights---as opposed to the improperly-consecrated State that makes every damn last bit of
human business its own business whether it is competent or Constitutionally sanctioned to do so.
Donaldus Minimus is neither God, Jr. nor Beelzebub incarnate. He's only a man, he's only a president,
he's no more the nation's saviour than any other president, he's no more the devil incarnate than any
manperson seeking even a degree of a place in the nation's largest organised crime family. And he---like
his predecessors---sure as hell is
not our national father, no matter what delusions he, like no
few of his predecessors, hosts in his actual or alleged brain.
But we're not going to make America "great" again until we make America
America again.
