Thank you for your response, @gadrian. It looks like my comment prompted some more engagement with your readers, on your post!
"There will always be some imbalance to correct. It often depends on who weighs on things and determine they are balanced or not."
We agree on this. There were always be something to point a finger at, as it is sadly far too common to create some sort of "all or nothing" narrative around whoever the latest enemy is supposed to be. With what objective?
Dividing us by whatever works versus uniting us around common objectives.
"Trump tells a lot of half-truths or plain lies to justify his actions."
Perhaps. How would you characterize the claims of so much of what the administration he replaced had to say? About pretty much any topic you would care to mention?
The sad reality is people are far less inclined to have open and honest dialog about any topic today than was the case in my younger years. It was most certainly not perfect then, but it is indisputably worse today.
The various political leaders we are all presented with as our "savior" do not help this, but since people are so easily swayed, I guess the argument is made that is what the people want.
I despise this mindset personally.
"... I mute the sound ..."
We can agree on this. Trump is a classic New Yorker and I have worked with some of them personally. I do not know what happens to people growing up in that concrete jungle, but they definitely have similar traits.
FWIW, I do not like the way he communicates, particularly when he makes it personal. Since, again, this is such a common characteristic of public discourse in our time, I have to grudgingly accept the constant give-and-take is part of it and ignore it myself.
I and many of the American people focus instead on what he does. In sharp contrast to the administration he handily defeated, who had done all in their considerable power to destroy him and anyone willing to be publicly associated with him.
