    I grew up in a liberal area. I now live in a very liberal area. I went to a very liberal university. And I’m very liberal myself. I’m surrounded by liberals.

    Also have my family is very conservative and I work in a very conservative field. Likewise, I spend a lot of time with conservatives.

    And that being said, I’ve seen plenty of irrational hatred directed towards Trump for the most stupid shit. So I strongly disagree that it’s just “being aware of his crimes” and wanting him punished for them. There is no way this guy should be anywhere near the presidency again, and he should be spending the rest of his life behind bars. But that doesn’t make every criticism of him rational. If this makes me “an enlightened centrist” I’ll happily wear the label. But I thought it just made me rational and objective. I guess you hold the position that if one dislikes Trump, anything bad said about him is rational. Sorry, but I won’t ever be that way.

      You’re in George Orwell’s novel. I think you are the public relations expert!
