Reagan was despised but not hated like Trump is. Significantly, his followers more admired him more than loved him. It was a more realistic age. Liberals have always been blind to the inherent dangers of Marxism and to the benefits of American conservatism, but not militantly. Today's political divide is more reactionary on both sides. We have lost the ability to understand our opponents' point of view, and in the process we no longer understand what we believe, also. All we know, now, is that we disagree. Everything is us versus them. We are good and they are evil, and we are at war.

In war, it is always who is left alive at the end, if anyone is. Everyone adopts the MAD strategy: mutual assured destruction.

The argument here sounds eerily similar to "stop hating on the Minecraft movie it's supposed to be for 12 year olds"
