This last election was not normal. (Or it was more normal than we want to admit.) In my first-hand experience, I saw Republicans in the Bay Area spending money and time trying to stop Trump from being elected. These are not Republicans in name only, these are people who serve in the local GOP, people who worked in the George W Bush White House, people who believe in free markets with all their soul, people who want to drastically change the government. They hated Trump.

This is what so many people just refuse to see. The GOP did EVERYTHING they could to try and stop Trump. We know Hillary asked the media to cover Trump as a pied-piper she “knew” she could beat. The GOP never wanted Trump, not for one second.

So the irony is that because of people’s GOP hate they feel need to hate Trump because he ran as a Republican without actually looking to see what’s happening here.

If someone truly hated the Republican Party, they should at least recognize that Trump is their enemy’s enemy.
