Trying to figure out why they hated Trump so much
American Thinker ^ | 17 Dec, 2020 | Andrea Widburg

When multiple people send you the same list, it's wise to pay attention — and in this case, the list reveals so much about Trump-supporters and Trump-haters.

American Thinker gets lots of emails. What showed up repeatedly in the American Thinker inbox on Wednesday was a long list of the possible reasons why leftists hate Donald Trump and deride him as the worst person and the worst present ever to hold that office. Each of those reasons is an accomplishment that all fair and honorable people should find impressive. The post not only highlights what Trump was able to do despite nonstop resistance from within the administration, from Congress, and from the media, but also highlights the left's absence of values.

The list appears at the Abyssus Abyssum Invocat / Deep Calls To Deep blog, home of a retired Roman Catholic bishop, the bishop emeritus of Corpus Christi, Texas. The bishop got the list, credited to E.P. Unim, after it showed up in one Rip McIntosh's impressive newsletters.

The list resonated with me because of a conversation I had with a young leftist who told me there's no evidence of fraud. When I answered with information about eyewitness evidence, data analyses, or the fact that every single metric in the world (enthusiasm, oil prices, cookie sales, you name it) supported a Trump blowout, he replied, "That's ridiculous. The proof that there's no fraud is that 81 million people voted for Biden because that's how much they hated Trump."

That's essentially E.P. Unim's premise:

Trump threatened the special subsidies and special privileges of the Left’s “special protected groups”, but they will never admit to the real reasons.

Someone has to explain to me why some people of Jewish faith dislike him so much after what he has done for Israel and Middle East peace.

This article inadvertently points out the blind spot in Trump’s campaign. I do wish he and his campaign had made a better effort talking about their successes. Unfortunately, his bombast on the stump shaded and moved aside these and they got limited attention.

The REASON they hate Trump, and I’ve told you this before, is because he would have been very effective at rooting out and eliminating a lot of corruption. Everything else is a smokescreen to hide that fact. One day (I’ll probably be dead and gone), you will see that the above statement is the truth.

“a long list of the possible reasons why leftists hate Donald Trump and deride him as the worst person and the worst president ever to hold that office.”

Asking a trump hater why they hate trump is like asking a klansman why he hates blacks and jews. You dont get an honest, rational answer. Because there is no rational way to justify the hatred they feel.

Many of the celebrities who once hung out and partied with trump, turned against him once he went into poliitics.

Why? Mostly because of his choice of political party. They hate him because he is a Republican. Not because of what he says or does. If the white house was currently in the hands of a republican who wasnt trump, the left would still be exhibiting the same level of hatred they have been dishing out to trump. Its not the man. Its the mans choice of political party.

If the only thing that changed about trump was his political affiliation, not his words or deeds, just his political affiliation, if he were a democrat instead, the same people who hate him would be singing his praises. Because everything they claim to find distasteful about trump (whether true or false), they turn a hypocritical blind eye and deaf ear to democrats with the very same faults or worse. Many of them supported hillary over trump. And we all know how crooked, dishonest, and corrupted she is.

And they’ve been labeling EVERY Republican president since Lincoln as the worst president ever to hold office. I dont know who will be the next republican to be elected president, but count on the left to suddenly find him the worst, pretending to ache for the days of trump.

The presidencies change, but the rhetoric of the left does not

Easy: Trump would upset the gravy train they are all riding.

Absolutely, completely, totally spot on.

Thank you.
I could have elaborated more on the inclusion of greek philosophy and roman law.... but I believe the Greatest Salesman (and redeemer) to hit the planet was the most significant contributor to progress. He also injected the humanity into our condition.

I agree with you. You won't be dead and gone before I see what you said is true. Others should look up the meaning of your FR screen name too.

Only one problem with the “raiding”. Once America is collapsed, who’s going to create the ideas and necessary inventions for the underlying infrastructure that gave us progress? Communism can’t do it, that’s why they’ve been stealing for years. Thats why the seIIouts.
It’s the culture and heritage of western man who has the advantage.

“Then Jesus went into the temple [d]of God and drove out all those who bought and sold in the temple, and overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who sold doves. And He said to them, “It is written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer,’ but you have made it a ‘den of thieves.’ ””

This is why.
