Thank you so much for the detailed and thoughtful reply. I agree with way too much of what you wrote to raise any objections.
I'd like to switch gears, because I see a larger problem...
When Jospeph R Biden was President, every day in America passed with its citizens assured that we would not read a bizarre, unhinged rant at that President's political opponents. Biden did have bad things to say Trump and his ilk, but he usually managed to say them in a way that was befitting of the President of the United States.
Trump absolutely deserves the Nobel Peace Prize. He did something amazing, practically impossible, even. He's not going to get it (It's going to Alexei Navalny's widow...and that is with Trump somehow being the favorite in several betting markets).
Why is it so hard to say something nice about a leader when we do not like him? Biden's approval ratings were very much in the Trumpy range. They were lower than Trump's at the end of his Presidency. Two obvious answers are that Trump has an obnoxious personality and worse (like way worse).
On some level, that doesn't make sense. You can take almost any great leader and see that they are human and had massive flaws in their character which translates to massive flaws in their personal conduct.
I don't think our current political climate explains this phenomenon. I think it's our collective inability to get over ourselves.
And I could be wrong. Trump could win that prize. I hope he does. Because I would love to see what happens next.
