Many people, apparently, think that being an obnoxious, mean, hateful, loudmouth bully means that

As a side note, I have dropped three long time friends since they voted for someone who wishes harm on my family and friends. At some point it would have erupted into a very bad scene since I will no longer passively tolerate right wing republican bullshit just to keep peace.

Everyone is either supportive of him or they are opposed to him? There is no middle ground. That is his nature. That is the way he will lead.

"She's a Professor! That means she's an out-of-touch elitist and knows nothing about what's actually going on!"
Face it. US culture has settled this long ago:
The heroes are brutal guys who can't talk for shit and fight honorably with raw power.
The villains are effeminate guys who care about art and manners and fight dishonorably with clever tricks.
An example I recently read about: The Griswold Christmas-movie with Chevy Chase
The villains are:
- the boss of the big company
- the snobbish, childless yuppie power-couple from next door who enjoys living their own life and ignoring old-fashioned american traditions
