1. I'd never give him that much power over me. Sure, I detest virtually everything he says and does.

BUT

2. I pity him more than anything else. He's a weak, stupid, frightened, incompetent man. He lashes out because of this. He's the weakest, most pitiful public figure in my life time.

(Don't hate, it's not worth the effort.)

there will be a huge party when he's finally gone (however that happens), but he's just the dog & pony show.

We really need to tax the billionaires out of existence.

Hating him personally would give him power over me so I refuse to hate him. I learned that lesson after GWB.

Would we get single payer healthcare?
Would grocery and rent prices fall?
Would ICE disband?

Trump is the gift that keeps on giving for the ruling class

He triggers every person who's been traumatized by authoritarian structures - parents, bosses, cops - or bullied or in abusive relationships

And it doesn't help that NO ONE seems to be fighting back

Hate is lazy and addictive. I try to use the word "despise." For example, I despise George W. Bush. I look down on him in an extreme way. He was and is a fuckup. I'm weak there, I guess, because it's a vice even to look down on him (although a far lesser vice than to hate him).

I see Trump as a symptom, a loose cannon on a deck full of loose cannons. Hating him is bad for the soul and other souls near us. You're much better off finding well-evidenced ways to look down on him. Hating him hands a "losing victory" to the emotionally confused folks on "the right" who hate us (but don't know us) and the emotionally confused folks on our side who hate others they don't know.

the worst of the worst are given so much power. Not just Trump, Putin and so many others presently, but all through human history. It can make one despondent.
