<But I find nothing to gain in holding in contempt those who voted for him. They're not monsters. They're just people.>

There we disagree. As far as I'm concerned, anyone who voted for a pig like Trump deserves nothing but contempt. And, electing a monster makes the people who voted for him monsters as well. It's not like they were forced to vote for Trump with a gun to their head. It was a freewill choice on their part, and everything we needed to know about Donald J. Trump we knew long before 11/8/16. Enough with the excuses and post-mortem sanitization of awful people who elected an awful person. We all have to live with THEIR decision and I, for one, resent it and them deeply. They have ruined this country, probably for good.
