I did. Just not to you. Most people don't feel compelled to express their distaste for people they don't like, 24/7. Most people just live their lives and if it comes up in conversation, will offer their opinion. I like to call it this big beautiful word - "civilized."

I've been seeing similar comments for at least five years. Not surprisingly, the comments have increased now due to his increased public exposure.

Exactly, there were similar comments few and far between. He wasn't really on my radar 5 years ago, other than reading about his accomplishments here and there. I can't say he's really on my radar now other than noticing the large increase in hate hyperbole and actions recently.

I think it's amazing how it was live and live at one point and now how venom is the action of the day.

I think you just exposed the problem with that statement. Thank you.

One of the problems with putting oneself in the public eye is the public will see
You can't please all of the people all of the time
Actions have consequences
