First, to clarify the Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) — it is not about hate, but it is about fear.   The Left has feared Trump since before being elected as president of the United States.  They fear him because he is the antithesis of what they stand for — control, power, and oppression.  And understand that the definition of ‘Left’ today is progressivism, Marxism, and communism — very similar to China’s communist party rule today.  That, ladies and gentlemen is where we are headed now.

America is not about hate.  It is not about racism.  It is about freedom.  The freedom to live your life independently and without suppression.  Typically you don’t need a bureaucrat breathing down your neck telling you what is right or wrong, good or bad.  YOU  are typically capable of making those decisions without someone who has typically accomplished nothing of significance. 

You, as well anyone else in this country, should be able to succeed “on your merit” without outside influence unless asked for.

Ask yourself, would you discard someone who could accomplish this much in a country being overrun by bureaucrats and political bullies?
