Kristof  identifies a profound truth.  The libbers who see themselves as founts of compassion and lovers of diversity are often the opposite.  When it comes to extending a hand to one who needs it, I would not look to the libbers.  No libbers will have a wine and cheese party congratulating themselves on their superiority.  Some of us Trump voters actually do care about fellow Americans much more than the self-aggrandizing libbers.  I was sad to see Trump resort to bombing and killing.  That is the first meaningful failure I have seen from him.  But America needed Trump desperately.  The tendrils of libber power which rob individual citizens of the right to speak (unless PC) or to think independent thoughts were drawing tight.  Some of us Americans yearn for the day when respect for diverse opinion existed, i.e. before the libber party arose.  So it is not about Trump at all.  It is about the battle between the remaining Americans and the libbers.  We will overcome.
