Why do people have this unnatural hate for Trump? He did my guy dirty, is a cad and a loudmouth. But I overcame TDS.
I didnt start hating zer0 until he ran through zer0care. It was a personal assault on my freedom. A liberal SC Justice, Brandeis, said a long time ago that people have a "the right to be let alone,"
The individual mandate violated that right. You had a duty to check in with big brother and prove that you paid their head tax or bought insurance. If you have no income (accumulated wealth) you do not have to check in at all as far as filing an income tax form. There are various ways to drop out but the mandate made sure you had to check in.
I could theoretically live tax free today (excepting sales taxes and user fees) including property tax with some sacrifice.
But back to the question. I feel that underneath it the left hates Trump because of what he is trying to do more so than his crappy personality. They really don't want to have a policy debate so they focus on his person.
I think its a convenient excuse.
They wanted to transform the country and voted for zer0. Trump has unwound some of that (not nearly enough IMHO) The left wants everyone to be a serf to gubmint. He stands in the way of the Karens micromanaging the unwashed.
They focus on the one thing most people if honest can agree upon that is negative. Trump is a j@ck@ss.
I got over that 3.5 years ago.
I think the true fight is between individualism and private property vs the "greater good nonsense" and collectivism.
