Read all the people on Twitter who turned against him after he made it easier for big-game hunters to bring their “trophies” into the US. Even if they are a card-carrying member of cult45, they will still have something they care about in the world. A beloved pet, a grandparent who can’t get decent healthcare, a brother who is gay, a husband who never got the well-paying job he was promised over a year ago now.

This administration has screwed everybody but the ultra rich and powerful, so there should be no shortage of enemies. The real issue is RW media, and how hard it makes it to have a discussion about the actual facts.
