The utter contempt for President Trump was the result of five years (including the 2016 primary season) of non-stop gaslighting by the MSM. It really started with the "pu$$y grabbing" audio leak. They also took Trump's New York style of hyperbole and purposely twisted it by taking it literally. Trump's tounge-in-cheek "Russia, if you're listening, if you have Hillary's emails..." became a straight-faced proof of Trump colluding with the Russians.

Trump's "I wonder if we could disinfect the bloodstream" became "inject bleach."

I could go on and on, but it makes my blood boil too much. I have argued with my liberal friends for four years on Facebook about each and every one of these issues, and they never look at the actual Trump quotes, they only regurgitate the CNN version of what happened, and take it as fact.

I will say this: Hatred for Trump is so strong on the Left that it literally impossible to change their minds. They hate Trump, they know he is "Orange Hitler" but can only cite twisted reporting to back it up, and they would have voted for Biden in droves just to vote against Trump.

"The horrible thing about the Two Minutes Hate was not that one was obliged to act a part, but that it was impossible to avoid joining in. Within thirty seconds any pretence was always unnecessary. A hideous ecstasy of fear and vindictiveness, a desire to kill, to torture, to smash faces in with a sledge hammer, seemed to flow through the whole group of people like an electric current, turning one even against one's will into a grimacing, screaming lunatic. And yet the rage that one felt was an abstract, undirected emotion which could be switched from one object to another like the flame of a blowlamp..."...........Winston Smith, 1984
