Trump gives everyone permission to hate others.
Hate wins apparently.

Part of the knock on Democrats is not anything they have done necessarily; it's that the media LIES about them. And the mainstream media has given a pass to Trump and not called out HIS lies and awfulness.

We have a media problem in this country. Fox ( and worse) are allowed to spread the worst lies about Democrats, while they never tell the truth about Trump.

I don't think it's so much when Democrats do or don't do; it's hard to overcome the sheer volume of lies
