Then we can feel morally superior to them & not have to take time to really understand why sometimes good people do terrible things. I was told recently that Mitch McConnell is a very nice man who supports handicapped children bc he raised one. He was kind, generous, courtly & yet this man supports horrible bills & underhanded legal tricks to create laws that seem to hurt so many people. And aren't we turning into monsters when we exclaim "Someone should just put a bullet in Trump's head?" Here is the true human dilemma: how can we try to understand without surrendering our need to resist to the greatest degree. I really do think Trump sees himself as the victim here & even at my most anger filled moments, I can also feel some pity for you. But then he says or does something stupid & I am bashing him again.
