I didnt vote for Trump but I intend to next time around because some
pundit said that NATO could not survive another 4 years of Trump.<br>

Bacevich is saying, "Be reasonable and see it my way."<br>

A large number of people who voted for Trump in 2016 did so because
they despise the Clintons, and hate Hillary Clinton in particular,<br>
not because they shared a strong common ideology with Donald Trump
the tycoon. You can use whatever symbolism you like<br>
to stand for that division between Clinton voters and Clinton haters
but it wasn't the Russians who brought people out<br>
of the hills and hollows of rural america and the cul-de-sacs of
suburbia to say "no, and I mean, No Hell No!" to Hillary Clinton and
her ilk.<br>
The antipathy for the Clintons does not "verge on hatred". It is
absolute and utter hatred of the Clintons and what they stand for<br>
and more intense hatred of Hillary in particular. There ain't no
changing it.<br>
<br>
The problem is with the way that people perceive the world.<br>
<br>
Be reasonable, and see it my way, and we will have unity.<br>
