Well...I sure don't like how you referred some to *recovering NT's*..they are not recovering..they have had their faith restored in the way that Trump has ruled conservatively...
I'm a little surprised this is what you focused on
@mystery-ak --- but okay, let's look at it. I am not referring to all TBR NTs and include the full scope of national NTs in my comments.
The hatred for Donald Trump that *some* NTs held (and hold) was not because they believed he was "liberal" or not "conservative enough". The President tossed that excuse in the trash bin six months into his presidency....but many NTs continued to cling to their hatred for him. It morphed into "he's doing okay, but --- he tweets, he's not presidential, he has no morals, he's an embarrassment, the very essence of the MAN is abhorrent". The hate became deeply personal and the need to keep it unrelenting.
For three years hating Donald Trump has been their political raison d'être -- like an addict with this being their drug. So I do not think using "recovering NT" for *some* is outrageous. I think it is accurate. They will need to be aware of and fight the pull of that drug on their political judgment for some time to come.
