It's the only logical explanation.
The left hates everything Trump and doesn't give a hoot about the people.
The good news is that because of these type of policies the democrat/left
are cratering and hemorrhaging voters and supporters.
They need to collectively find a clinic specialing in TDS deprogramming and
enroll in the intense therapy course.
Of course they could also hit the pavement and actually listen to what their
constituents want.
