Eh come one. Every term, every supporter is criticized to hell by the other side. With either repubs or dems screaming, "[insert previous POTUS] was NEVER bashed like this, this is crazy!" And every term we're told that the supporters of the current POTUS are too sensitive to criticism. Trump and his followers are nothing new, in that regard. Obama was raked over the coals. And so was Bush. And on and on.
Nothing new is happening here. We just love to think we're getting screwed, no matter which side we end up being on. Human nature, I suppose.
In fact, I have family members who voted for Obama and then Trump. They used the same bullshit defenses for Obama that they do now for Trump. People just want to believe they're supporting the right person, no matter what. Humans get married to their ideas and normally won't admit they're wrong. That would take, like, courage and intellectual honesty.

If you're frightened of dying, and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. But if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the Earth.
