Selective enforcement considering the fact that classified docs were found with others but not pursued. Justice has become politically weaponized and a lot of regular folks have become so brainwashed to hate Trump that they support it. Very dangerous times.

Yes. They are enforcing rules which presidents have ignored for decades. Because the other presidents were less volatile and less willing to rock the boat, nobody felt the need to stop them the way they feel a desperate need to stop Trump. Trump doesn't need to be "a good guy" to realize that what they are charging him with is no worse than what presidents have done for a very long time.

The "truth" about Trump is now hidden, because his enemies have projected on to him all of society's worst labels. He has become the "vehicle for all evil" - the perfect Goldstein character from 1984 - this is the purest of caricature.

People hate "Trump" because "Trump" is the equivalent of a witch in the middle ages - the projected fears of the population focused on to the chosen victim. Who is Donald Trump in reality? I honestly do not feel confident in any answer to this question, either from his supporters or his detractors, because the caricature has so overwhelmingly obliterated the reality of who this man is and what he did and continues to do.

^ Exactly this.
