I'm pretty sure "Look I hate Trump more than anyone" is now the political equivalent of "I have nothing against (insert ethnic, or racial group here"

Those statements are usually followed by a "But", and then a statement that would seem to indicate the first one isn't quite sincere.
It's strange right? I've had some pretty intense political discussions with some family members recently, who are great people, that don't think Trump is so bad.

These aren't people that are racist, or sexist, but they have somehow bought into the fact that Trump is a victim somehow, like the democrats have been going after him from day one, unwarranted and they never leave him alone. Many of the conversations go, "look I think they're both corrupt, but".... I ask them for any real solid evidence of corruption on Biden, and there's not much there, when I point out clear issues with Trump, it just turns into, yeah but....

It's infuriating. I don't even know where they are getting their perspective from, I can only assume facebook is playing a big role. I don't have facebook myself, but I hear it's a cesspool. One of them did send me a list of all the great things Trump has done, and it was a facebook link. Living in Alberta also doesn't help with some of this stuff.

It's odd, I don't think every single thing Trump has done is necessarily bad, but the terrible things he's done, FAR FAR outweigh anything good. This is not like other presidents who did some bad and some good.

This whole thing is bizarre.
