While I agree the choice of the word "followers" was a poor one, the IG report did, in fact, show a general war had been declared on his "supporters," including a lot of people who didn't like Trump but were prepared to vote for him over Hillary. Reminded me a lot of Obastard's "bitter clingers" remark.
Yes, the left has been ugly as sin about Trump voters. They have been portrayed as ignorant hillbillies or worse. Did we do that about Obama followers (and the word was applicable in his case)? I think we cringed at how the Black community was so gullible but that was mild compared to how the Trump voters are portrayed.
I read an editorial today urging people to cut off any friends or family members who supported Trump.
As for the premise of the original article here, it is not just wrong, but silly.
