7 Reasons the Left's Hatred of Trump Is So Deep
Townhall.com ^ | February 24, 2020 | Terry Paulson

Posted on 02/24/2020 5:36:31 AM PST by Kaslin

President Trump’s popularity is higher than before the Democrats' impeachment debacle began, and that continues to frustrate and outrage the leftists in our midst.

Like Wile E. Coyote learns over-and-over again, no matter what he does, the Roadrunner just keeps tweeting on down the road at record speed. They’ve worked to impeach Trump since he took office and finally achieved it, only to have him exonerated by the Senate. They’ve mocked him, his tweets, and his priorities. They’ve drowned him in negative media coverage. They’ve called him a narcissist, a tyrant, and an uncaring fraud. But nothing is working, and the rage in the social media just grows by the day as there are growing signs that no Democrat is in a position to stop his march to a second term.

Why such deep hatred?

1. Nothing works in derailing this president, and it’s driving leftists crazy. From accusation after accusation spread by an anti-Trump media to flimsy articles of impeachment, their attacks miss the mark. Now, just months before an election, Trump’s supporters, like mad hornets, are ready to rush to the polls to give their verdict to the Democrats’ impeachment fiasco.

2. Leftists realize that many voted for Trump because they wanted anyone but Hillary Clinton. But now, his supporters are amazed at how much this street-fighting outsider has been able to get done! He’s delivered what many past Republicans have just succeeded in talking about. From cutting taxes and regulations to stimulating our economy and from appointing conservative federal judges to fostering energy independence, supporters can’t wait to see what Trump can accomplish in a second term. The left is frustrated that Trump has delivered a track record that’s hard to beat.

3. The left has run up against a president where name-calling doesn’t work. Trump doesn’t care if he’s not liked by the left or the “fake” news. His enemies keep trying to find something he’s done that will stick. But when leftists level an attack, it’s like water rolling off a duck’s back. His opponents look at each other in amazement with but one plea—“Quick! Go find something else before the election!”

4. Trump bypasses the media and goes directly to the people. He’s not dependent upon a hostile media to get his message out. Trump’s tweets and rallies keep his faithful fed with the information he wants them to celebrate. He doesn’t let Democrats get away with their lies. Trump lets voters know that America is exceptional, that patriotism is good, that all lives matter, and that jobs matter to all races, genders, or classes.

5. Trump is piece by piece dismantling the socialist, entitlement transformation President Obama started to build. With Democratic candidates moving further to the left and talking “democratic” socialism, President Trump has made it clear—"America will never be a socialist country!” The people who earn their way by working hard in America have a champion committed to protecting them from the selfish takers who would rather live off of someone else’s hard work.

6. President Trump is taking on the task of getting rid of the “deep state” bureaucrats embedded in the federal government. The democratic stronghold of overpaid bureaucrats around Washington are afraid. He’s promised to fire those who are not necessary and end duplication of departments and programs. That means getting rid of more unnecessary regulations and the overpaid busybodies who enforce them.

7. While Democrats talk about giving benefits to illegal aliens, President Trump talks about continuing to build his border wall and updating America’s immigration process. Citizenship counts and should not be granted easily. He values immigration and what legal immigrants should and can bring to our country to make America stronger but has no plans on making it easy on illegal immigrants.

In short, leftists are fuming. Their Trump Derangement Syndrome is giving them headaches that are showing no signs of going away. With his growing popularity and their uninspiring, progressive candidates, Democrats are feeling helpless and increasingly hopeless. If conservatives were facing a liberal president as effective in transforming America as Trump is in preserving it, we’d feel the same way. Let’s do everything we can to keep this man in office and, this election, give him control of the House and the Senate. He deserves four more years, and America’s future depends on it.

I believe that it is a sin problem separating them from G_d.

Leftists believe that there is no sin, therefore they do not have to deal with any moral issues regarding their relationship to G_d.

Or they still have Father issues and never learned to submit to their earthly father or their Heavenly Father.

It sounds to me that they have a human problem but refuse to take the payment provided, for they would have to admit that they are wrong.

They hate everyone who is not them. Remember how much they hated Bush? In retrospect, that was laughable. Bush was a Country Club Republican. But they hated him. I remember back in the 90s they even hated Bob Dole of all people. They really are like Orwell’s 1984 statists - they have to have some one to hate.

8. He’s evil. Self-evident fact.
9. He’s always in the news in a bad way; we’ve tired of it. He’s gotta go.
10. He has orange hair.

President Trump is taking on the task of getting rid of the “deep state” bureaucrats embedded in the federal government.

The problem with these folks is that they constitute a huge conspiracy of incompetence who have found themselves in jobs with pay that they would not ordinarily qualify for. They are clueless as to what they are doing, but they make league with each other in a self-protection society that is massive in scope and scale.

Clinton started it, and Bush, shrub, put it on steroids - whatever you want just so long as I can invade Iraq. Obama certainly piled on, but by then it was already game over and won.

Sanders, whether or not he gets the nomination, is going to insure we take back the House.

Normal, decent and good people are seeing the true, ugly colors of the Dems and they do not like what they’re seeing.

Trump is just the symbol. What they really hate is the people who voted for Trump.

“Some” hated him but it was only a fraction of how many hate him now..

He is exposing corruption, but call me surprised if anyone goes to jail or is executed (as treason calls for)

IMHO, most lefties have father or lack-of-father issues, and God issues.

Donald J. Trump represents a believing, strong, caring, witty and patriotic father figure they cannot avoid.

Some hate him because they hate their father. Some have their envy of others with good fathers stirred up. Some despise him for believing in and speaking of God (the ultimate Father).

Number one reason is he derailed their gravy train. If you think Ukraine is the extent of the problem you’re not paying attention.

After seeing this latest legislation in Virginia, I’m starting to believe that Trump’s efforts to stop human trafficking plays a very significant part in the conflict.

It should be as simple as ABC: Anyone But Clinton.

A lot of people can see that. But the Leftists, the media, and the elites do not. They think everyone loves their gal, and they will pull out all the stops to get her in the White House.

Mark my word: There will be some sort of drive to get Hillary on the Dem ticket; maybe there already is.

She is the only one the Dem establishment and media elites will lie, cheat, and steal for.

“Normal, decent and good people are seeing the true, ugly colors of the Dems and they do not like what they’re seeing.”

So true. For years, democrats merely hinted at these far-left policies, knowing that if they plainly advocated for them, they would lose. But now, with Bernie and AOC clearly calling for outright socialism, people know exactly where they stand.

If Bernie turns out to be the democrat nominee, the debates with Trump will be Must-See TV. Even I could debate Bernie about Trump’s record and his plans for a second term.

People are talking about a 49 state win for Trump. Can you imagine election night CNN calling NY, New Jersey, Illinois and California for Trump!? Wait, Massachusetts is too close to call!

I’d say the courts are the single biggest reason. Leftists were poised to take over the Supreme Court and the Circuit Courts. Most of the Strict Constructionist Justices were older and Obama appointed 55 Leftist activists to the Circuit Courts.

Now Trump put two younger Strict Constructionists on the Supreme Court and looks poised to be able to replace a couple of the Gang of Four - as well as potentially replacing Alito and Thomas with younger Strict Constructionists thus keeping those seats out of Leftist hands for another generation.

“They hate everyone who is not them. “

What they hate is when they are not sitting on the Throne of Power! They are the Gollum of the american political landscape. The Precious belong to them because it their birthday! They will gladly fall over into the volcano to possess it as their own.
