Mindless Trump hatred
What do you think is going to happen if somebody you trust tells you day-in and day-out that the sky is falling? Some are going to believe that the sky is falling. Especially if they’re not inclined to seek answers out for themselves.
The media, college professors, entertainers … these people know they command the attention of a certain group of people. They know they can tell that group anything and be believed. Consequently there are a large number of people who hate President Trump and don’t have a clue why. But they’ve been told, by CNN, by a teacher, by a movie star that President Trump is destroying the economy (something that is clearly not happening) and they believe it.
They say that he colluded with Russians, that he obstructed justice, that he’s a racist (always the Left’s go-to accusation) and a white supremacist. That he’s at fault for Antifa riots and the Guatemalan drought. On and on and on and when one accusation is proven baseless, the Left just rolls out another.
There are liberals out there that actually want the economy to tank … they actually want people to be put out of work and for businesses to fail … just so Trump won’t win re-election.
That, boys and girls, is what liberalism is all about.
