People who oppose Trump tend to do so because, as followers, they take their cues from the establishment (corrupt politicians, vacuous entertainers, and mercenary "intellectuals"). But I've noticed that the most virulent and vocal opponents of Trump hate him for an additional reason, namely his manifest intention to reduce government regulation, taxing, and spending. His plan to gut Obamacare alone has sent women of both sexes into fainting spells.
This is a sad testament to how the American people have degraded from free and independent citizens to slavish and parasitic subjects. It's gotten so bad that not only do they demand their lifestyles be subsidized through government force, but they assert a "right" to this plunder. So on the one hand a pro-choice woman proclaims that government must keep its hands off her body, but on the other she proclaims that government must place its hands in everyone else's pockets for her benefit. Dependency, like addiction, breeds cognitive dissonance.
What Trump's opponents seek to defend are not rights, but wrongs.
The federal government has no constitutional authority -- and certainly no moral authority -- to spend my tax dollars on your birth control, your abortions, your general medical care, your artwork, your housing, your education, your settling in America after migrating from abroad, your "green" technology, your farming operations, or any number of other activities you shamelessly demand that I subsidize.
The only person whose rights are at stake in these transactions are mine, not yours. You are a thief. Having the government as your accomplice makes you no less guilty. Indeed, I have a far greater right to avoid paying taxes for these things if I so chose, than you and the government have in forcing me to subsidize them.
Righteous outrage does not belong to any of you thieves and parasites. It belongs to us, the productive hosts. Attack Trump all you like. You will not destroy the righteous outrage that propelled him to the presidency, and his modest proposals to reduce government are merely one step on a long trek in the right direction.
