Dan Carlin is right [1]. People have completely lost their minds. Whether or not someone has the same political beliefs as you is not an indicator of whether he/she is a good or bad person. This kind of thinking is reductive and scary.

Trump may be a monster, but whatever happened to treating fellow human beings with dignity and respect? Everyone is the end result of a specific upbringing and a specific environment. People don't necessarily vote one way or another out of malice or hate.

This has nothing to do with whether people vote republican or democrat, or who voted for Trump and who didn't. If that's your entire understanding of the situation, then none of this makes any sense and it looks like everybody involved is crazy. If you want to have any hope of understanding the situation (WHY people are acting the way that they are and WHY Trump was elected in the first place), then you're going to have to dig deeper.
