You're absolutely right. It shouldn't be personal.
I've always taken the position that maybe Donald Trump can be forgiven for the way he is, maybe he was born that way, or maybe he was brought up to be like that. Maybe he has a vitamin deficiency or hormone imbalance, or a growth in his brain that makes him that way. Maybe its not really his "fault", whatever that means.
But over the last few years I've come to see that about one third of the American population really believes he SHOULD be that way, that they LIKE him that way, and even when they don't fully agree with him, they don't want anyone to know that because they NEED him to be that way because he tells them what they want to hear. Trump will eventually go away, one way or another, but his followers will remain, those that die will be replaced. They don't have a genetic defect, a bad childhood, or a disease, they are all just that way naturally. Whatever it is, its deeply ingrained in American culture and history.
I never believed there were so many people like that in my country. And that makes me sadder than anything Donald Trump says or does or is. It fills me with disappointment and despair.
