It's a legit thing though. I live in Boston. There are people here you meet occasionally who literally... talk about nothing about how awful Trump is and are totally obsessed with him to the point of alienating everyone around them. Who agonize over every tweet he makes everyday as if it is the end of the world.
It's sort of like how Howard Stern used to get better ratings from people who hated him more than those that loved him. Some folks entire identity is now hating Trump. And half of what they hate is just bullshit, lies and imagination running wild and has little to do with reality.
Too many folks are totally detached from reality really. Living in social media bubbles convincing themselves of their persecution from imaginary enemies. A constant stream of nonsense that is breaking their brains and they bring it IRL and refuse to social with you if you don't reinforce their preexisting beliefs.
There is a growing contingent of folks who think the world should conform to the reality in their head. Not that they should confirm to the reality outside of it. It's scary AF. And these folks often think violence is totally justified to make other people conform to the nonsense in their heads.
