Look I disagree with you when it comes to Trump. I think he is his own worst enemy. But I have these discussions with my son and know that I will never be able to make you see him the way I do. I only hope that they don't lose too many more people - either through the virus or violence.
My hubby supports the Dems and the two of them do not get on at the moment. While I cannot understand his viewpoint - my son is entitled to support whomever he wants - for whatever reasons. I have tried to understand what you guys see in him - but every time he opens his mouth I cringe. So I decided that I am not too invested in this at all. And he doesn't make me think of Hitler at all - I do think he is egotistical and delusional. He puts the focus on himself in all matters.
I am more concerned about what is going to happen here as I am don't think we have many good choices at the moment.
Ask any Republican whether they think Trump is a perfect individual, and the general answer you'll get is no. I'm not perfect and nobody is, but it is only the Democrats that act as if they are, including claiming that they are the moral authority on everything -- when their policies are more aligned with Nazis than they are with classical liberalism.
Trump was elected because all the other sweet talking politicians like Obama were absolutely crap and did the opposite of what they committed to do. The divisions in America are not because of Trump; they're there because of Obama / Biden's tenure. People chose to give a business man a chance, because "what did they have to lose".
The reality if you're able to look past the biased CNN and others is that he unlike the sweet talkers is delivering what he promised -- has he delivered it all -- No, could he do better -- Yes, etc.
Many successful patrons in New York sound and talk like Trump; whilst that may not be everyone's cup of tea -- it's hard to argue with results. Plus how ridiculous have things become that Democrats today take the opposite position of everything Trump is for. Democrats used to believe in strong borders, strong policing, etc. Today they just come across as completely unhinged, and even worse pushing socialism and ignoring the civil discord created by hard left scum like ANTIFA and BLM.
