For me the conflict is more about ideas than a person, but Trump’s and the conservative policy exemplify the wrong ideas. At the highest level, the wrong sort of people seek to control others. The opposite is obviously independence from that control, as exemplified be equality and freedom.
The issues? Abortion, in not having the religious enforce their belief on those with different values. Racism. Criminality. Containment. Elites. None of these issues are particularly new, invented by Trump, or apt to disappear with Trump. But he sure makes a nice symbol of what has been perpetually wrong with America, has been wrong since the founder’s time. He has sure tried to take various aspects of the conservative movement down the wrong path. I consider taking down Trump as less important than taking down the wrong parts of America.
The good part I suppose is giving the crisis a focus. By being the obvious ideal of what is wrong, it makes true Americans ready to move to what is correct.
That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.
