Hate is a self-inflicted wound that hurts nobody except the hater. Worse yet, hating anyone hands over a certain amount of power and control to the person they hate;
What is popularly known as Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) is an unreasonable phenomenon based on the hate of one particular individual. I charge the TDS phenomenon as being “unreasonable” because 99% of the time President Trump has done nothing directly whatsoever to any given individual to justify being hated.
The late Scott Adams, in his book Reframe Your Brain, says that hate is nothing but punishing yourself for the misdeeds of others. I would change that thought a little bit in that hate is nothing more than punishing yourself for the real or imagined misdeeds of others. In the case of President Trump, during his time in office (in both his first and current term) has done nothing but make life better for 99% of all American citizens, whether they voted for him or not. Most of the non-politicians that “hate” Donald Trump hold that position because they have been duped by the out and out lies by the corruptocrats of his political opposition.
Anyone who hates President Trump should ask themselves a few questions. Is my life better or worse under Donald Trump than it was under Joe Biden? Does hating Donald Trump hurt Donald Trump? Why, specifically, do I hate Donald Trump? Is my hatred for Donald Trump hurting me? How is hating Donald Trump making my life better? How does hating Donald Trump serve me?
Hate is a self-inflicted wound that hurts nobody except the hater. Worse yet, hating anyone hands over a certain amount of power and control to the person they hate. Think about it.
